A serene landscape painting that presents a solitary figure standing in a vast, open field, facing toward a distant white structure that rises against the horizon, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.
The expansive sky occupies much of the canvas, shifting in gradient tones from pale cream near the horizon to soft blue above, evoking a sense of stillness and atmospheric depth.
The composition is minimalist yet evocative, with bold horizontal divisions of land, horizon, and sky creating a structured balance. The dark green foreground contrasts with lighter bands of yellow and green, leading the viewer’s eye toward the central figure and the white building. The figure, rendered in simple but deliberate strokes of blue, introduces a quiet narrative of solitude, contemplation, or journey.
The style is modernist and reductive, focusing on form and mood rather than intricate detail. Colours are clean and restrained – soft pastels in the sky, deep greens across the land, and a single bright accent of blue in the figure – lending the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.
Brushstrokes are broad and confident, with smooth transitions in the sky and more textural, layered application in the landscape. The painter’s hand is visible yet controlled, conveying both immediacy and calm.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has small scuffs.
Size: 51 x 67 cm (including frame)
