Watercolor – Tunis Fayyum village houses
This 2006 watercolor immortalizes the characteristic traditional houses of the village of Tunis, in the Egyptian region of Fayyum. The work focuses on the compact volumes and domes of the rural dwellings, organically integrated into the surrounding landscape.
The composition exploits a warm and earthy palette, in which the sandy and ochre tones of the buildings stand out against the green and brown brushstrokes of the vegetation and the blue and golden shades of the sky in the background. The delicacy of the glazes returns the enveloping light and the quiet atmosphere of the place.
A painting with an intimate format and a strong evocative flavor, ideal for enriching gathered environments, studios, or living rooms with a touch of authentic Middle Eastern inspiration.
