Description
“My Love Letter to Venice 009” is an original oil and gold leaf on canvas painting by contemporary Israeli artist Sergei Moskalev. Measuring 30×40 cm | 12×16 in, this piece is part of the celebrated My Love Letter to Venice collection — a deeply personal artistic tribute to romance, mystery, and timeless beauty.
“What fascinates me most about Venice is the constant movement of light across water. Nothing is ever still. The colors shift, the reflections break and reform, and the entire city seems to breathe with the tide. When I paint Venice, I try to capture that fluid rhythm, where architecture becomes something alive and ever-changing.” — Sergei Moskalev
Sergei Moskalev’s work is distinguished by his masterful use of light, color, and texture. Trained at the prestigious Penza Art College in Russia and a member of both the UNESCO International Federation of Artists and the Association of Professional Artists of Israel, Moskalev brings decades of classical training to his contemporary vision. His Venice series captures gondolas, the Grand Canal, St. Mark’s Square, and Santa Maria della Salute with an emotional depth that transforms familiar scenes into deeply personal experiences.
Enhanced with gold leaf, the painting gains an additional dimension — a warm, luminous glow that shifts with the light, creating an almost living quality that photographs cannot fully capture.
This original painting is available for purchase through Basha Art Gallery with worldwide shipping. Each work comes with a certificate of authenticity. For inquiries about this piece or to commission a similar work, contact us directly.
