Toledo

This is from my traveling Toledo 2025 after Camino de Santiago.

Artwork Statement-Landscape series

Artwork Statement-Landscape series

The Landscape Series began during the COVID-19 lockdowns, when movement was limited and the outside world could only be reached through a screen. Traveling virtually through Google Maps, I collected fragments of distant streets and towns, reimagining them through memory, emotion, and color. Each painting captures a sense of connection and distance—quiet streets lined with houses that seem close, yet untouched.

Visually, the series draws inspiration from the luminous structure of stained glass. Clear lines separate bold areas of color, simplifying the scene while preserving its rhythm and light. This interplay of contour and hue transforms ordinary suburban landscapes into spaces of reflection and calm.

Through this process, I found beauty in stillness and resilience in isolation. The paintings remind us that even when we are apart, we remain connected through shared light, memory, and the quiet hope of another tomorrow.
