Description
In “My Love Letter to Venice 022”, Sergei Moskalev captures the essence of Venice through rich blues, warm golds, and fluid reflections that mirror the city’s watery soul. This original work, created in oil and gold leaf on canvas and measuring 40×60 cm | 16×24 in, belongs to the My Love Letter to Venice series — one of the artist’s most acclaimed collections.
“There is a quiet intimacy to Venice that captures the heart. Its narrow streets, soft reflections on the canals, and hidden squares create moments of pause and wonder, as if the city is inviting you to notice its beauty slowly. I paint Venice as a love letter, seeking to hold onto the emotion it inspires, the romance, the charm, and the sense of discovery in every turn.” — Sergei Moskalev
Born in 1970 in Penza, Russia, and now based in Israel, Sergei Moskalev has spent decades perfecting his expressive brushwork and palette knife technique. His Venice paintings are celebrated for their emotional resonance — each canvas capturing not just the appearance of gondolas, the Grand Canal, St. Mark’s Square, and Santa Maria della Salute, but the feeling of being present among them. As a member of the UNESCO International Federation of Artists, his work carries both artistic prestige and investment value.
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.
