The oil painting on cardboard titled "Water channels of the city walls" presents a poetic and immersive vision of an old European city cradled in the arms of winding canals and glowing historical architecture. With vibrant color, dynamic brushwork, and a masterful use of light and shadow, the artist captures not just a place, but the spirit of a timeless urban landscape — a place where water reflects history, and every stone and ripple tells a quiet story. Dominating the composition is the wide canal, rendered in deep greens and rich turquoises, gently guiding the viewer’s gaze into the depths of the city. The water shimmers with delicate reflections of the buildings, boats, and sky, painted with confident, fluid strokes that convey a sense of movement and clarity. A lone white boat rests near the edge of the canal in the foreground, anchored at the base of a timeworn wall. Its small presence adds an intimate, almost contemplative dimension, inviting the viewer to imagine stepping inside and drifting quietly beneath the city walls. To the left, a large tree extends its leafy canopy across the sky, casting warm, dappled shadows over the adjacent building. The tree is alive with warm hues — orange, ochre, deep green — suggesting late afternoon light or the gentle transition into autumn. The building beneath it is a classic Venetian-style structure with weathered walls, shuttered windows, and rich reddish tones that seem to drink in the light. Opposite this on the right side of the canal, more architectural forms rise with elegant irregularity. Their warm golden and sandy tones glow in the sunlight, with details picked out in red, rust, and peach. The windows and balconies are painted with quick, evocative strokes, suggesting life within, even if the inhabitants remain unseen. In the central background, a tall and slightly leaning bell tower anchors the composition. Its architectural lines are softened by atmospheric perspective, giving it a dreamlike quality as it rises into the vibrant blue of the sky. Farther back, bathed in soft light, the outlines of other towers and rooftops suggest the continuation of the city, stretching endlessly beyond the reach of the viewer. The city appears to dissolve into a haze of warm light and pale blue — a reminder of how memory blurs the edges of even our most beloved places.
