Kastel 2018

"Kastel" is a watercolor painting by Alfred Freddy Krupa, created in 2018. It depicts an abstract view of a coastal town with a row of arches in the foreground, providing a glimpse into the city beyond. The arches, painted in black and brown, are a strong focal point and stand out against the blue and yellow hues of the sky and sea. The buildings and cityscape are rendered in a more loose and abstract style, using a variety of washes and blending techniques, giving the piece a dreamy, atmospheric quality. The title "Kastel," which translates to "castle" in Croatian, suggests a connection to the Adriatic coast, where Krupa has lived and worked extensively.
