During my last years of school, I studied art as one of my main subjects. Alongside analog photography, architecture, and various art eras, we explored Impressionism.

Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterized by its emphasis on capturing light and the fleeting effects of color in the natural world. Artists aimed to convey their immediate impressions of a scene, often using loose brushwork and vibrant palettes. In contrast, Pointillism is a technique developed by Georges Seurat, where small, distinct dots of color are applied to create an image. This method focuses on the optical blending of colors, as the viewer’s eye mixes the dots from a distance.

During the weeks we delved into the use of sunlight’s colors, I created this still life using only primary and secondary colors, by using with crayons. The best way to appreciate the piece is to step back from the screen and view it from a distance. Additionally, we were not allowed to use line art, which encouraged a more fluid and expressive approach to the composition.
