Painting description

In the painting we see a rainy day, with cool, icy hues dominating the background, while the red of the umbrella draws the eye with its contrast. The gray of the sky and buildings creates a misty, melancholy atmosphere, almost like a dream. Who is she? A lone figure on the street, as if hidden from the world. The artist used the impasto technique, which adds depth to the texture. Is it romantic or rather sad? Perhaps she’s seeking shelter, or maybe she’s simply enjoying a moment of quiet. Children would say: “Oh wow, that lady has a pretty umbrella!” The view is blurred, as if we were looking through a wet windowpane. Dynamic brushstrokes convey the movement and energy of the city. The lines of the lampposts and buildings are straight, but their reflections on the wet pavement create subtle, blurred shapes. It’s something like a blend of the realistic world with a touch of the abstract. I feel a certain nostalgia when I look at this piece. It’s amazing how the artist captured the moment. You feel that calm, but also the unease lurking around the corner of the street. It stirs a slight tension, and at the same time it calms me. As if time had stopped for a moment.
