Original oil painting signed by Svetlana Peña

 

This oil painting captures a moody, rain-washed city street at dusk. 
The scene is built around strong perspective: tall, shadowed buildings flank both sides of a wet roadway that recedes into the distance, drawing the eye toward a tram approaching from the center. Overhead, a web of trolley wires stretches across the sky, punctuated by small, glowing streetlights that hover like warm embers in the cool air.

The palette is dominated by blues, grays, and muted violets, giving the city a hushed, atmospheric quality. Against this cool backdrop, the reflections of yellow lights shimmer across the slick pavement, creating a sense of movement and life despite the subdued tones. The brushwork is loose and expressive—details are suggested rather than spelled out—so windows, figures, and cars emerge softly from the mist rather than sharply defined.

The tram’s illuminated front acts as a focal point, anchoring the composition and adding narrative tension, as if the city is quietly in motion under the rain. The overall feeling is contemplative and cinematic: a moment of urban solitude, where light, weather, and architecture merge into a reflective, almost dreamlike cityscape.
