Perspectiva 2000

David Ligare made this painting, Perspectiva, using precise lines and a soft, muted color palette that gives the scene a dreamlike quality. This approach to artmaking reminds me that painting is a process, a journey of observation and translation. Looking closely, you can almost feel the smooth surface of the buildings and the subtle texture of the sky. The paint is applied in thin, transparent layers, creating a sense of depth and luminosity. Notice how the light gently touches the side of the building, highlighting its architectural details. It’s as if Ligare meticulously built the structure with his brush, block by block. The doorway is like an invitation, promising to reveal an alternate reality. Ligare’s work resonates with artists like Giorgio de Chirico, who used surreal and unsettling juxtapositions. Art is just like that – a conversation across time, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.
