Description
“My Love Letter to Venice 012” is an original oil and gold leaf on canvas painting by contemporary Israeli artist Sergei Moskalev. Measuring 50×40 cm | 20×16 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.
“My paintings of the Venice canals are, in a way, my love letter to the city itself. Each brushstroke is an attempt to hold onto its quiet beauty, the gentle movement of water, the glow of light on worn stone, and the intimacy of narrow passages that feel suspended in time. Through color and texture, I try to capture not just what Venice looks like, but what it feels like to move within it, to breathe it in, and to carry it with me long after I leave.” — 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.
