About the Artwork

Away from the main attraction, beauty still awaits along the side canals of Venice, Italy--capturing the atmosphere of the simplicity of it, unassuming and yet equally mesmerizing. 

This is a part of my "Travels with my Brush" series. I like how the colors of the side walls are neutral against the vibrant blue of the boats and the reflection of the sky above.

Customer Reviews

Roselle Manalastas
Candaba, Philippines

Roselle has 47 artworks,
and is available for
commissioned work.

Roselle has been drawing—her first love--ever since she could hold a pencil. Growing up, she has joined several poster-making contests and became a cartoonist in her school paper. Drawing always has been in the background, but it was pushed back as she ventured into the field of analytics (She graduated BS Statistics from the University of the Philippines-Diliman).

In 2018, she turned to painting to cope with a pregnancy loss. At the time, painting was her escape, a way to grieve. Since then, she has never stopped painting, especially during the pandemic. Painting serves as her means to recharge, rest, and practice self-care.

She is fond of painting landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, and florals in impressionistic style. She particularly loves acrylic because it provides the flexibility and the kind of pace she was looking for in a medium. She is drawn to the contrast of light and dark in her compositions.

Each painting is an idea, a feeling, or even a dream realized into something tangible using brush strokes and a combination of colors. Likewise, it can also evoke different feelings: a sense of calm, peace, or hope, or any emotion that cannot be expressed in words. To someone who appreciates it, it may or may not have meaning. After all, it is fluid, dynamic, and ever-changing.
