Annunciation – Konstantinos Parthenis

This captivating artwork, titled ‘Annunciation’, presents a serene and ethereal scene that invites contemplation. The painting is characterised by a soft, muted colour palette dominated by gentle tones of blue and beige, which together create a tranquil atmosphere. In the foreground, a nude figure stands on a staircase, facing away from the viewer, exuding a ghostly quality that enhances the dreamlike essence of the piece. The figure’s relaxed posture suggests a moment of introspection as they gaze into the distance. To the left, a large draped cloth adds movement and fluidity, rendered in a light, translucent blue that harmonises with the background. The architectural elements in the backdrop hint at a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern influence, featuring blue walls and white trim, with arched doorways and windows that enrich the composition. Partially obscured by the figure and fabric, the building adds depth and complexity to the scene. Small details, such as a vase of flowers near the figure, introduce a splash of colour to the otherwise monochromatic palette. This artwork, available as a print or on canvas, encapsulates a moment of quiet contemplation and peacefulness, making it a perfect addition to any art collection.
