The central element of the composition is a bright streak of light that illuminates the street. The artist employs the impasto technique, applying a thick layer of paint to create a sense of three-dimensionality and dynamism.
On both sides of the street, buildings are visible, casting shadows onto the pavement. The artist uses darker shades of red and brown to depict the color of the walls and roofs, creating an impression of depth and space.
The architecture of the buildings is presented in a simplified manner, which gives the painting an abstract character. The artist focuses on capturing the play of light and shadow rather than on a detailed rendering of architectural details.
“Light,” is a painting that emanates peace and nostalgia. Jeklin creates a vision of the city that is both recognizable and entirely new. It is a work that combines elements of urban landscape, Impressionism, and abstraction, creating a unique and unforgettable image.
