Description
In “My Love Letter to Venice 019”, 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 40×70 cm | 16×28 in, belongs to the My Love Letter to Venice series — one of the artist’s most acclaimed collections.
“The Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute rises gracefully at the entrance to the Grand Canal, its domes catching the soft Venetian light and reflecting it onto the water below. I am drawn to the way sunlight moves across its surfaces, highlighting curves and shadows, and giving the structure a gentle, almost ethereal presence. In my painting, I try to hold that glow, that interplay between solid form and luminous atmosphere.” — 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.
