Periferie la Curtea de Argeș

About this work

This painting shows a blurry, rough scene with thick brushstrokes. The colors are mostly dark—browns, greens, and muddy reds—with a few bright spots like a yellowish patch and a blue hint. The shapes look like buildings, maybe a village, but they’re not clear. The sky is a pale greenish-gray, and the whole thing feels unfinished or hurried. The brushstrokes are so thick you can almost see the texture of the paint. That’s called *impasto*—it makes the painting look almost sculpted. The artist didn’t smooth anything out, which gives it a raw, energetic feel. If you like this style, check out the technique: impasto.
