About the artwork

Along Uruguay’s southern shore, where the Río de la Plata opens toward the Atlantic, the city of Montevideo rests beneath an ocean of changing light. This painting captures that delicate balance between sky and sea, warmth and melancholy, through the brushwork and color sensibility reminiscent of Claude Monet’s coastal studies at Étretat and Trouville.

The golden waterfront glows in late afternoon sun. Pastel yellows and rose hues blend seamlessly with the shimmering blue of the river’s surface. The city’s domes and towers rise gently from the haze, their silhouettes softened by distance and air. Each brushstroke vibrates like the reflection of light upon rippling water — small, rhythmic, alive.

This is not a cityscape frozen in time; it breathes. The sky moves, the water dances, the colors pulse in harmony. In this composition, structure dissolves into atmosphere — an homage to Monet’s lifelong pursuit of light as subject, where matter itself seems secondary to sensation.

The viewer can almost feel the warm breeze rolling off the sea, the scent of salt and stone, the murmured rhythm of waves brushing the shore. Monet-Inspired Montevideo Coastline becomes a meditation on transience — a reminder that even the largest cities are only temporary guests beneath the eternal sky.

Soft yet radiant, this work speaks to collectors drawn to coastal serenity, Impressionist nuance, and the poetry of evening light.
