Mid-Century Expressionist Landscape Painting by NIMA

This is a vibrant mid-century modern oil/acrylic landscape painting on canvas or board, depicting a hillside village scene. The composition is characterized by its bold, expressionist style, utilizing a heavy impasto technique with thick, energetic brushstrokes that create physical depth on the surface. The color palette is dominated by Mediterranean-inspired hues, including cerulean and cobalt blues for doors and foliage, crisp whites for building facades, and terracotta reds for the rooftops, all set against a foreground of warm ochre and orange earth tones. The buildings are rendered in a stylized, geometric fashion, reminiscent of post-impressionist or fauvist influences. The artwork is signed 'NIMÁ' in the lower-left corner in a thick, dark pigment, and also features a stylized monogram or date '77' in the lower-right corner, suggesting the work was created in 1977. The painting is housed in a contemporary-to-era wooden frame consisting of a light-colored inner liner and a darker outer edge. Regarding condition, the paint surface appears stable with some minor cracking consistent with age; the frame shows light scuffing and minor discoloration on the linen/wood liner. The overall craftsmanship reflects a confident hand with a strong grasp of color theory and architectural simplification, typical of professional European or Latin American studio art from the late 20th century.
