"Ancient Echoes in Ochre and Azure"

Artist / Nono Zilahi . Romanian (2025)

"Ancient Echoes in Ochre and Azure" This acrylic on canvas painting by Romanian artist Nono Zilahi presents a layered and evocative abstract landscape. The artwork is divided horizontally into distinct color fields. The upper portion is dominated by cool blues and whites, suggesting a sky or distant horizon with soft, diffused light. Below, warm earth tones of ochre, burnt orange, and deep reds create a sense of ground or architectural forms, possibly hinting at ancient structures or natural rock formations. The artist utilizes a textured application of acrylic paint, with visible brushstrokes and blended areas that create a sense of depth and atmosphere. A prominent dark, arched form on the lower left suggests an opening or passage, adding a sense of mystery and inviting the viewer's eye into the composition. The overall feeling is one of a dreamlike or remembered place, where ancient history and natural landscapes merge through the artist's abstract interpretation. The contrasting cool and warm tones create a visual tension and a sense of timelessness.
