Romulo Galicano is a painter of tonal landscapes who is renowned especially for his intimate views of nature. This sweetly melancholic and idyllic painting seems to occupy a borderline between everyday observation and a visionary world all Galicano’s own. A sense of liveliness is conveyed by the various tones of green, red, blue, and white modulating in various intensities and with effects of transparency. Though Galicano is mostly known for his rural depictions of everyday life, his experiences abroad have widened his horizons. This painting depicting a Canadian landscape showcases how Galicano’s mastery over his craft is an all-encompassing one. Galicano’s aim was to heighten and dramatize the effects of light and shade, and to achieve a more exact pictorial approximation of nature’s fleeting changes.
