This expressive landscape painting depicts a series of houses nestled in tiers on cliffs at the sea's edge. The composition is playful and rhythmic, with flowing lines and simplified forms that give the whole an almost dreamlike quality. The sea, rendered in an intense, deep cobalt blue, provides a powerful counterpoint to the warm, earthy tones of the buildings.
The use of color is undoubtedly one of this work's greatest strengths. Ochre, terracotta, green, and blue blend together, creating a vibrant yet harmonious whole. The painting exudes warmth and movement, while simultaneously maintaining a sense of tranquility and timelessness. The houses seem almost to float between land and sea.
The work is painted on cardboard, which contributes to its direct and unpretentious appearance. It is signed S. Matthijs and dated 6/96 , visible in the lower right corner of the image. The painting is offered in a lightweight plastic frame, behind glass, and is ready to hang immediately.
At De Tuin Der Kunsten, we believe in affordable art with character : works of art that aren't distant, but can be experienced daily and integrated into contemporary interiors. This painting fits perfectly in an interior with soul and personality, where color and expression enter into a warm dialogue with the space.
