In this evocative painting, the city of Amman is bathed in tones of blue and grey, breathing in the quiet of the sky just before the rain. Its terraced hills and clustered buildings form a soft, layered landscape where small human figures walk in silence, blending into the city’s mood. The diffused light hints at low-hanging clouds and an approaching storm. It’s a suspended moment—where time pauses and emotion stirs gently.
Features
1. Pre-Rain Color Palette:
The use of soft blues and greys captures the gentle tension and calm of the city just before rainfall, adding emotional depth to the scene.
2. Silent Depiction of Daily Life:
The walking figures suggest a meditative stillness rather than hurried motion, echoing the harmony between people, city, and sky.
3. Balance Between Abstraction and Place:
Though the scene is atmospheric and misty, the key elements of Amman—its hills, close-knit buildings, and sloping streets—remain distinct, anchoring the painting in a recognizable sense of place.
