Adriatic touristic view 2013

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this landscape in 2013 using watercolor, and it's just beautiful. I can really imagine him outside, maybe sitting on a rock, squinting at the bright Adriatic light. You know, watercolor can be so unforgiving, it seeps, it bleeds... but here, it's like he's harnessed its flow. See how the blue kinda melts into the paper? It's thin, washy, not overworked, giving it this ethereal feel. The brushstrokes are confident, and the color palette is restrained - blues, greens, yellows - like he's distilled the essence of this view. The painting’s simplicity reminds me of Agnes Martin. There’s something very meditative about it, a quiet observation of nature, and a lovely little moment of painterly calm.
