Mediterranean Cityscapes
Art prints by Sofia Fatima Amarchi
"The Mediterranean has the color of mackerel, changeable I mean. You don't always know if it is green or violet, you can't even say it's blue, because the next moment the changing reflection has taken on a tint of rose or gray." - Vincent Van Gogh
I'm no Vincent Van Gogh. But I paint Mediterranean landscapes. I prefer abstract and stylized depictions to realistic ones. Anyone who has ever been to that part of the world - Italy, Greece, Spain, Morocco - knows that the Mediterranean is a state of mind. No one image can truly capture its essence. Moreover, no realistic depiction of the Mediterranean can substitute for being there, for the feeling one gets when there. The Mediterranean is an emotion - an emotion one senses only when under Mediterranean sun and sky, when one feels its warmth and breathes its air. Rather than attempting to act as a false window, my paintings are an attempt to convey a feeling.
