Plajă is a 1961 by Mihăilescu-Craiu Victor, depicting cliff, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a beach scene with a rocky cliff on the left. The rocks are painted in rough, layered strokes of brown, green, and blue. Below, the sandy shore has a few small tents and a lone boat in the water, with a round white buoy floating nearby. The sky is a smooth, light blue, blending into the water. The brushwork is loose and quick, almost like quick sketches. The colors are bright but not perfectly mixed, giving it a rough, textured look. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint layers like this.
