Size:60x80x3cm

Medium:Watercolor on Cardboard

“House of Kompinoglou” is a beautiful watercolor and ink painting by Greek artist Dorotheos Antoniadis,according to the precise handwritten inscription along the bottom edge. The composition highlights a row of traditional brick and stucco houses in Kilkis, their clay-tiled roofs dusted with a melting layer of snow that forms long, dramatic icicles over a turquoise-painted porch. Antoniadis shifts away from his usual monochromatic palette, utilizing warm orange-red brick tones and vibrant teal shutters to contrast against the bright, clear blue sky and the slushy, melting snowbanks lining the road. A prominent wooden utility pole stands sharply on the right side of the canvas, its complex web of overhead wires slicing across the sky to anchor the residential street in a deeply authentic, lived-in reality.
