In this digital painting, Lizde explores the dense, historic layers of Split, Croatia. The artwork focuses on the verticality of the city’s architecture, using a portrait orientation to emphasize the rising stone walls and the intimate scale of Mediterranean streets. By blending the precision of digital illustration with a painterly sensibility, the piece documents the intersection of ancient structure and modern coastal life, where every shadow and balcony suggests a story of place.

The color palette and linework prioritize the atmospheric quality of travel, moving beyond a simple map to find the soul of the Adriatic. The composition balances the heavy, permanent nature of the buildings with the lightness of an illustrative style, creating a sense of depth that invites the viewer to wander through the framed alleyways. It is a study of how light hits old stone, rendered with a clarity that feels both deliberate and deeply personal.
