Cairo at Night

Ivan Choultse’s Cairo at Night captures the quiet, enigmatic beauty of an ancient city under a star-filled sky. The painting depicts crumbling stone structures illuminated faintly by moonlight, their weathered textures highlighted with Choultse’s signature attention to atmospheric detail. Silhouetted palm trees rise against the deep blue night, their shadows stretching across the ground. The stillness of a nearby pool reflects the soft shimmer of the stars above, creating a serene interplay of light and shadow.

Two figures dressed in flowing white robes stroll beneath the palms, adding a human element to the otherwise silent scene. Their presence, subtle and understated, suggests life continuing in harmony with the ancient surroundings.

Choultse’s use of subdued tones and delicate lighting evokes the tranquility and mystery of a nocturnal desert setting, blending realism with a dreamlike quality.
