Landscape 

Panayiotis Tetsis's 'Landscape' presents a dynamic interplay of color and form, inviting us to consider the structural elements that define our perception of space. The mountain dominates the composition, its mass rendered in broad strokes of ochre, blue, and muted greens, creating a sense of depth and volume. Notice the strategic use of impasto, where thick layers of paint give a tactile quality, contrasting with the smoother treatment of the sky and buildings below. This layering not only adds texture but also implies a visual hierarchy, emphasizing the mountain's imposing presence. Tetsis destabilizes traditional landscape conventions by merging foreground and background through color echoes, challenging our eye to differentiate between spatial planes. The touches of red draw the eye upwards, suggesting an interplay between natural and built environments. By reducing the landscape to its elemental forms, Tetsis prompts a reflection on how our senses interact with and interpret the world around us.
