Size:55x73x3cm

Medium:Acrylic on Cardboard

“House of Lysandros Fassos” is a beautifully detailed acrylic painting by Greek artist Dorotheos Antoniadis, according to the handwritten Greek inscription along the bottom margin. The composition depicts a traditional multi-level residential home nestled behind an overgrown garden, completely transformed by a heavy blanket of fresh, pillowy snow. Antoniadis masterfully balances precise ink draftsmanship with a crisp color palette, utilizing rich reddish-brown wood tones on the window shutters and balcony structure to create a warm contrast against the cool, pale blue sky and stark white snowdrifts. Intricate cross-hatching details the bare winter trees, an ivy-wrapped pillar, and the stone architecture, while soft gray-blue shadows contour the heavy snowbanks clinging to the roofs and bushes. Through its wide perspective and realistic textures, the artwork captures a serene, freezing morning, preserving a quiet slice of local neighborhood history under the silence of winter.
