Expressive, impasto brushstrokes build a rich texture and add dynamism to the composition. In the upper part of the painting, a luminous orange sky stretches, contrasting with the more colorfully diverse lower section. The central point of the composition is the silhouette of a church, depicted in a simplified, almost abstract form. Its dark mass with a characteristic tower rises towards the bright sky, forming a distinct accent in the warm tonality of the painting. The surroundings of the church are formed by abstract patches and shapes in shades of red, orange, yellow, and violet, which may suggest urban buildings, streets, or greenery. The expressive painting technique and intense color scheme give the painting a strong emotional charge. Despite its small size, “Church” emanates energy and dynamism, characteristic of urban life. The simplified form of the church allows the viewer for personal interpretation and finding their own associations with the cityscape. This small format, with its intense colors and expressive texture, can be a distinct accent in any interior, introducing an atmosphere of energy and emotion. It is a proposition for lovers of urban landscape and abstraction who appreciate expressive and temperamental oil painting.
