More about JARDINS SUSPENDUS DE BABYLONE

An impasto oil painting depicts a vibrant and colorful landscape with a waterfall and buildings, resembling the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The sky is a bold blue, filled with thick, white and light blue strokes forming clouds. Palm trees with dark green fronds and black trunks are scattered throughout the scene. Buildings with yellowish-tan walls, dark windows and doors, and various architectural details including arches and decorative elements are built into the landscape. Lush greenery, painted in various shades of green, frames the buildings, and splashes of red, pink, and orange suggest flowers and foliage. A prominent waterfall cascades through the center of the image, rendered with thick, vertical strokes of white and light blue paint, creating a sense of movement. Below the waterfall, a body of water reflects the colors of the buildings and sky, with strong horizontal strokes of various colors, including blues, greens, yellows, and reds. The entire painting is characterized by its heavily textured brushwork, where the paint is applied in thick layers, giving it a three-dimensional quality and an abstract yet recognizable appearance.
