About this artwork
This painting shows the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford at dusk, in that brief moment when the city shifts from day to evening. The street lamps had just begun to glow, softening the edges of the buildings while the sky cooled into blue. The warm light from the windows and the distant colour of the sky seemed to sit in a quiet balance.
I kept the shapes simple and the palette muted so the atmosphere could take the lead. There is a calmness to Oxford… at this time of day, a sense of pause before the night settles in, and I wanted the painting to hold a trace of that gentle transition.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Wolfango Chiappella is an Italian-born painter based in Buckinghamshire, UK. Raised in the Piedmont countryside, his work is shaped by a lifelong familiarity with rural landscapes and the quiet edges of towns. He paints primarily in oil on panel or canvas, using restrained colour, softened forms, and an emphasis on atmosphere.
His paintings often begin with real places, fields, paths, waterways, or overlooked corners, but shift in the studio towards simplified, pared-back compositions. Rather than describing a location, his work focuses on stillness, distance, and the weight of light and weather. Drawing on landscapes from both Italy and England, his paintings sit between observation and memory, offering calm, reflective spaces that feel held rather than explained.
