Zitoune rendez vous- from moroccan series-SOLD Painting by Justine Formentelli

Painting: Acrylic on Canvas.

I painted this scene after a invigoration stay in Essaouira last summer, my favorite city in Morocco. We were staying in the spice market in the souks and every morning, i enjoyed gazing down at the street below with its colourful products. The dominant color is BLUE: blue of the city, the sea, the sky and the endless wind which brings a sense a freedom and possibility and lightens the weight of a very traditional and religious society.
