original technique called "plyontanism" This painting, entitled "The Silent Verticals of Amsterdam," captures a peaceful, almost meditative moment in the heart of the city. The composition is dominated by a tall brick building with a tower-like superstructure, whose vertical lines are reflected in the surface of the canal. These vertical elements—the windows, corners of the building, and chimney—create a rhythm that contrasts with the horizontal line of the bridge and the calm surface of the water. The warm stone bridge connects both banks and symbolically links architecture with nature. The trees on either side soften the structured geometry of the building and bring an organic element to the scene. The surface of the canal is not just a reflection of reality, but a second image – slightly rippled, color-enhanced, and almost dreamlike. The reflection of the building breaks down into expressive strokes in the darker tones of the water, creating a dialogue between the stability of architecture and the variability of water.
