FRAMING OPTIONS: This painting can be purchased with or without a frame. With the assistance of an art curator and framing specialist, an optimal solution has been selected for this piece. It includes a neutral, textured mount and textured wood frame with a matte white finish. Two screen options are available: regular acrylic and the new 'Moth-Eye Museum' acrylic, delivering exceptional clarity and UV protection. It is as clear as glass but ten times stronger—a total game-changer in the world of framing. Framing options can be selected at checkout and will include additional shipping costs for protective packaging and insurance.
IMPORTANT: Due to the delicate nature of the watercolour surface, we highly recommend framing your valuable art to ensure optimal preservation. Watercolour paper also has a natural tendency to curl, but once mounted and framed, the piece will appear flat. We suggest entrusting any handling outside of the protective sleeve to a professional framer.
DELIVERY: Four weeks from date of order.
ABOUT THIS PAINTING
The Church of Panagia Paraportiani in Mykonos Town is not only one of the most photographed churches in Mykonos but also in the world.
My fascination with the interplay of white and blue hues is not confined to my realistic paintings, but also finds expression in my abstract works.
The serene atmosphere of this place brings me a profound sense of calm, and it's not coincidental that I draw a connection between the whitewashed stone and clouds against a blue sky.
Inspiration was drawn from my travels in Mykonos in 2023.
