About the artwork

Set in the Greek town of Oia on the island of Santorini, the picture offers an idyllic view that captures the essence of Greek charm. The distinctive colour palette of the Greek landscape, consisting of bright blue and pure white, dominates the composition highlighting its Mediterranean character.

The scene shows the typical architecture of Oia and Santorini, with the characteristic whitewashed houses set against the steep slope of the caldera. A beautiful contrast to the blue sea and blue sky. I personally think it almost looks like a painting. The colours immediately evoke associations with the Greek flag and add to the timeless aesthetic of the region.

The whitewashed houses, with their flat roofs and ornate blue accents, are a visual spectacle that takes you back to the authentic Greek atmosphere. Narrow alleys wind between the houses, creating a maze that invites curious adventurers to explore every nook and cranny of this picturesque town.

The view extends over the Aegean Sea, whose deep blue colour blends harmoniously with the sky. This not only adds depth to the picture but also highlights Santorini's natural beauty.

The picture exudes a warm summer atmosphere, where the sun's rays illuminate the white buildings. The photo is an invitation to wander the winding streets, enjoy the local delicacies on a terrace overlooking the sea, and simply enjoy the timeless splendour of this Greek gem: Oia on Santorini.
