Mediterranean Radiance

Mediterranean Radiance is inspired by my deep love for Mediterranean light, coastal towns, and the joyful energy of sunflowers. Living and traveling along the Mediterranean coast has influenced my palette, filling my work with warm golden tones, turquoise blues, and soft sunset hues.

The sunflowers symbolize optimism, vitality, and warmth, while the distant coastal village represents a sense of place, memory, and timeless beauty. I used 3D texture to give the flowers a sculptural presence, allowing light and shadow to interact with the surface and create movement as the viewer changes perspective.

This painting reflects my desire to bring light, warmth, and emotional uplift into interior spaces, combining nature and coastal scenery in a harmonious, contemporary impressionistic style.
