This is another dreamed view from old Goa.
I had the chance of visiting three times Tiracol Fort, an old Portuguese Fort which is built on the mouth of the Tiracol river, on the border of two Indian States, Maharashtra and Goa.
In this painting, I have imagined a music room with a view on the ocean, as I remembered them with a bit of fantasy.
The young lady on the Goan divan plays the sitar, behind her is a painting of an Indian jungle.And on her right through the window one can view the sea.
As I came back to Europe during the covid period, I remembered this view of Goa as a dream, a dream of being secluded - not in a Paris flat - but in an old Indian Portuguese Fort, overlooking the Indian ocean.
In this painting, the viewer has a choice of evasion, music, the sea or the jungle. One can also see in this painting the influence of Matisse, his rooms with a view in the French riviera.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
