Description

MINI_This painting captures the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe, an enduring symbol of spiritual and historical significance in the region. Rendered in a “Vibrant Lyrical Abstract Expressionism” style, the work highlights the cathedral’s distinct Romanesque Revival architecture, contrasting its French-influenced yellow limestone structure against the backdrop of the Southwestern landscape. The composition emphasizes the monumental scale of the landmark, capturing its storied towers and signature rose window through a “Return of the Hand” approach that utilizes sculptural impasto and expressive palette knife textures to elevate the architectural form. Bathed in light, the structure serves as a bridge between colonial history and modern cultural identity, with the vibrant foreground flora further grounding the scene in the living spirit of Santa Fe.
