Village of Saint Paul de Vence 80x80 cm

"This vibrant oil painting, created using a palette knife, depicts the picturesque village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence nestled in the Provençal hills of southern France. The textured technique brings the scene to life with bold, expressive strokes and rich, vivid colors.

The historic village sits majestically atop a hill, crowned by terracotta rooftops and a stone bell tower rising above the clustered buildings. The warm earth tones of the architecture contrast beautifully with the intense blue of the Mediterranean sky .

In the foreground, an explosion of colorful vegetation fills the landscape, lush trees, manicured gardens, and dense bushes in shades of purple, pink, red, turquoise, and gold. Flowering shrubs, bougainvillea, lavender, and oleander, dominate the lower portion of the composition, creating a vivid tapestry of Mediterranean flora.

Tall cypress trees and sculpted olive trees add structure and vertical rhythm to the scene, while the stone wall at the front offers a sense of depth and enclosure. The rolling fields and terraces stretch out below, embodying the idyllic charm and warmth of the French Riviera countryside.

This painting captures not only the beauty of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, but also the joyful, sun-drenched spirit of Provence, rendered with energy and texture through masterful palette knife technique."
