Under the Mediterranean sky...


My first trip to the Mediterranean area in 2005 was an excellent experience. This was the very first and fast impression of me when exiting the airplane on Karpatos Airport: sun was shining nearly above me! And the same sun was with me every day, brightening the colours which were maily brown, green, grey...I suddenly found this small chapel (absolutely the oldest building I have ever visited!) on the western coast of Karpatos island and catched some photos of it. One of these photos helped me later to paint this landscape on my art course in Finland during long, dark Nordic nights...and here it is: not so naturalistic but, in opposite, joyful in some way - like my feelings during my very first trip to Greece!
