Winter Lights

“Winter Lights”, a new artwork created by Dominic Virtosu in late winter 2025. 

In this work, Virtosu takes an unapologetically figurative approach: it features a view of windows and plants as seen in the hallway from the artists’ studio entrance.

In it, the painter explores his relationship with his immediate environment - an observation of daily life through his own perception. The window panes seem to be interrupted by the metallic structure of the industrial design of this former waffle factory - symmetrically evolving lines attract the viewer into this universe where a rich plant life now exists.

“There is an intrinsic element of chance playing into it. Imperfections that this technique forces me to accept - they challenge my control and rationally focused mind.”
