Rain Study

“Rain Study” captures a fleeting moment of feline composure, a portrait born from observation of the stray cats of Alp. The artist’s handling of pigment is immediate, building form through layered strokes of cool violet and shadowed charcoal. A concentrated gaze emerges from the enveloping darkness, hinting at a quiet intelligence and a life lived close to the elements. The composition is intimate, almost a fragment of a larger world, drawing the viewer into a shared space of stillness. There’s a palpable sense of damp air and muted light within the work, a mood not of melancholy, but of resilient observation—a study not just *of* a cat, but *within* a particular atmosphere and place. It’s a tender acknowledgment of a life lived simply, marked by both vulnerability and a quiet dignity.
