This modern impressionist painting captures the magical sunset on Santorini island and the beautiful unique architecture of the greek village Oia. This is part of a series of cityscapes inspired by my trips to Greece.

The first time I discovered the magic of Greece was in 1998… I went back in 2001 for my Erasmus architecture scholarship and I spent there almost a year. I traveled again to the Cyclades islands in the summer of 2017 to get more inspiration for my paintings and to enjoy those wonderful places.
I fell in love with Santorini from the very first moment… with the magic of the place, with the amazing light, the breathtaking views, the colors, the unique minimalist architecture … A fairy tale setting surrounded by the sea… Everything there impressed me and inspired me so much.

Oia or Ia is a small village and former community in the South Aegean on the islands of Thira (Santorini) and Therasia, in the Cyclades, Greece. It covers the whole island of Therasia and the northwesternmost part of Santorini, which it shares with the municipal unit of Santorini. It is built on the steep slope of the caldera and the houses and restaurants are built into niches carved into the caldera on the seaward side. There are narrow passageways and a central square. The sunlight hours in this village are much longer than in the Fira town. Its paths are very narrow and hence gets congested during the tourist season. The idyllic surroundings of the town have a complex of white washed blue domed churches and charming, traditional Cycladic houses and cave houses that are carved into the rock face on top of the cliff. It is set in a location which provides excellent views of the sunset over the caldera.
Oia typifies the white-painted houses of the Cyclades, in many cases built directly into niches which are cave houses used by crew of the ships, on the lip of the volcanic crater, between which are narrow alleys and blue-roofed churches with cupolas. The wealthy ship captains of the late 19th century built neo-classical mansions. These houses are seen built in succession one above the other. (source: wikipedia)
