San Miguel por la tarde

Measures: 90 x 50 cm

"San Miguel por la Tarde" captures the ethereal beauty of San Miguel de Allende as the day transitions into evening. This painting is an expression of the vibrant atmosphere that the city exudes under the glow of a setting sun, with a hot air balloon gracefully floating across a richly painted sky, adding a sense of adventure and freedom to the tranquil evening.

I chose a palette of deep blues and fiery oranges to reflect the intense and fleeting colors of the twilight sky, contrasting dramatically with the historic and serene architecture of the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel. The use of bold, expressive strokes enhances the dynamic and fluid nature of the clouds, bringing energy and movement to the composition.

This piece is inspired by the peaceful yet vibrant energy that fills the streets of San Miguel in the late afternoon— a time when the fading light casts long shadows and paints the town in golden hues. "San Miguel por la Tarde" is an invitation to witness the magical moments of dusk, where every view is a painting waiting to be discovered.
