About This Work

A single dark cypress stands above Zagora's spring terraces, the lavender hills dissolving into distance behind it.

A particular quiet holds this place. It lets the eye travel from the terraces nearby, over the clustered roofs, and out toward those hazy lavender mountains. Soft greens of new leaves rest against warm stone. And that one dark cypress just anchors everything. The paint itself seems to breathe—thicker where sunlight hits a wall, then softening into the far hills. The light is so clear. It gives each terrace its own quiet weight as a deep stillness settles over the valley.
