Abandoned Village 2

Description

In this oil painting, my focus is to capture the stark realism of an old, weathered building through meticulous attention to texture and detail. I employ a palette dominated by earth tones—grays, browns, and beiges—to emphasize the rugged beauty of the stone construction. Each stone is rendered with precision, highlighting the varying shapes and the interplay of light and shadow that gives the structure a three-dimensional feel. The wood elements, slightly decayed and warped, contrast with the stone, adding to the overall sense of abandonment and time-worn resilience. This work is an exploration of materiality and the effects of time on man-made structures, presented in a super-realistic style that underscores the tactile qualities of the surfaces.
