This work is a modern expressionist scene centred on the energy and movement of a fountain. The vertical lines of the splashing water contrast powerfully with the horizontal structure of the paved ground and stately facades in the background. Through expressive brushstrokes and strong colour contrasts, the tension between calm and dynamism is palpable: the water almost seems to dance, while the buildings behind it remain imperturbable.
Although the painting looks like it was built up with thick layers of paint, it was created entirely with digital techniques. In the process, the textures, colour intensity and layering of traditional oil and acrylic have been mimicked. The result is an artwork that manages to combine the vitality of a classic painting style with the infinite possibilities of digital art, making it feel both familiar and innovative.
