Description
In “My Love Letter to Venice 031”, 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 80×120 cm | 32×47 in, belongs to the My Love Letter to Venice series — one of the artist’s most acclaimed collections.
“Walking over Venice’s small bridges feels like stepping into a story of the city itself. They invite you to pause, to notice the details of the worn stone, the water’s gentle movement, the quiet presence of a passing gondola. In my work, I paint them as symbols of connection, romance, and the timeless charm that Venice quietly offers to anyone willing to look closely.” — 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.
