"Malibu Heights," an oil painting by Ovanes Berberian, captures the serene beauty of a coastal landscape with a masterful blend of color and light. Created in 2005, this 25x35 canvas is signed by the artist, showcasing his signature impressionistic style. The composition draws the viewer's eye from the foreground's lush greenery and earthy tones to the distant horizon where the sea meets the sky. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, with vibrant greens and blues depicting the rolling hills and scattered houses, while soft pinks and purples paint the sky, suggesting a tranquil sunset. Berberian's skillful use of color and texture evokes a sense of calm and timelessness, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of Malibu's heights.

Our Curator's Notes

This is a rare composition for Ovanes as he did it on a trip to California in Malibu. He was hiking along the trail when a local homeowner invited him to paint in his yard. This masterpiece was the result.
