Excellent stylization and linear sharpness help the artist place the forms in the landscape of a dream, yet at the very least allow it to remain a clear, solid, and above all attractive composition. Warm ocher, light blue, and the warm tile-burgundy on the roof constitute alternating color intensities which capture a dynamic variation of the landscape. His sharp drawing skills deform and alter the natural touching us more and more in a unique way.The anti-realistic organization of the architectural structures and the surrounding space, the controlled composition with rigidly rendered forms betray the creator’s playful mood as well as his sharp artistic perception for mass and volume.
