Even subtle changes in lighting will make a profound difference in the way one regards the painting, and which objects catch the viewer's attention. Ruins This painting was done at the request of a patron, who wanted something similar to a famous historic painting. This work shows the way that Dumitru plays with light in his painting. Here he resolves the problems of the sunlight shining upon these ruins. You can distinctly see the light entering from the left, and filtering out through each window on the right.
Every object casts a shadow.
There is a pleasant softness to the light in this work, which makes it a joy to view. And there is such detail in the shadows, that one will always see new enigmas on this canvas.
