This semi-abstract oil painting of a Santorini landscape beautifully captures the dreamlike essence of the iconic Greek island through expressive brushwork and a rich, textured palette. The composition is divided into three main zones: the vibrant floral foreground, the sunlit townscape, and the serene sky and sea backdrop.
The foreground is dominated by an impressionistic mass of dark green foliage dotted with red blossoms, evoking a lush garden or vineyard typical of the Mediterranean region. The middle section of the painting features Santorini’s classic Cycladic architecture—clusters of whitewashed buildings with flat roofs and arched windows—bathed in warm golden hues. These structures are depicted with abstract, layered strokes that suggest the glow of sunlight reflecting off the island’s stucco walls. At the top right, a large ochre dome—perhaps representing one of Santorini’s famous churches—stands as a focal point, lending a spiritual and architectural anchor to the scene.
The upper part of the painting is awash with soft lavender, gray, and pale yellow tones, representing the Aegean sky at dusk or dawn, merging almost seamlessly with the sea beyond. The blending of colors and abstract approach blurs the line between reality and memory, capturing not just the appearance but the *feeling* of being in Santorini.
The artist’s technique emphasizes texture and light, using impasto layers and subtle color transitions to evoke the timeless, sun-soaked atmosphere of the island. This work balances the recognizable charm of Santorini with the emotional depth of abstraction, making it both a landscape and an evocative dreamscape.
*Size: 16"x 20"
*Original Semi Abstract oil painting on unstretched canvas by brush and palette knife.
*Made by me - Indrani Ghosh. This is not a copy or a print.
