The early morning light of the Aegean: a sky still between blue and white, whitewashed walls absorbing light, tiled roofs reflecting it. At the centre a minaret-like tower rises — it could be a village mosque, or equally a form the artist invented to balance the composition. In the foreground ground drawn with freely patterned lines; in the back cypress and oak trees building a dark green wall of nature. Fitoloğlu openly reveals the architect's eye here: the vertical axes of the buildings give the composition its spine, but the brushstrokes never keep that spine rigid. Every window leans slightly, every roofline trembles slightly — and that trembling is what separates landscape from photograph and makes it painting. Signed: Fitol 18.
