I was deeply moved by the exotic façade of St. Mark’s Cathedral with its mosaic lunettes, gothic spires and colored marble columns. The rhythm and flow of tourists and pilgrims from many nations gathering here, seemed to give this magical architecture and visual splendor a special glow and vitality. I pay homage to this sacred site using a classical technique inspired by Renaissance and Baroque Masters.
