The castle and the birch 2017

"The castle and the birch" is a 2017 ink-wash painting by Alfred Freddy Krupa. The work depicts a stylized landscape with minimal detail, consisting of a dark tree-like form standing tall in the center and a castle-like structure in the upper left. The artist's masterful brushwork is evident in the loose, gestural strokes, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The painting evokes a sense of serenity and contemplation, characteristic of traditional Japanese ink painting. The simple composition, featuring the use of negative space, highlights the dynamic nature of the brushstrokes.
