Monastery on Amorgos is a serene and contemplative painting from Lance Hewison’s Into the Blue series. The stark, white monastery clings to the rugged cliffs of Amorgos, an idyllic Greek island, contrasting against the deep blues of the ocean and sky. Perched high above the sea, the structure appears both isolated and protective, offering a place of refuge overlooking the tranquil waters below.
Hewison’s use of light and shadow enhances the building’s quiet presence, while the simplicity of the composition invites the viewer to reflect on the relationship between man-made sanctuaries and the raw beauty of nature. The deep blues and soft whites create an atmosphere of peaceful solitude, evoking a sense of timelessness and contemplation.
In the artist's own words:
"In Monastery on Amorgos, I wanted to capture the quiet strength of this remote sanctuary. There's something deeply calming about its position—perched between the cliffs and the sea, offering both isolation and a sense of watchfulness over the world below."
