Courtyard of Air and Arches

from $650.00

Photographed from above, this work looks into the interior geometry of Havana’s historic Palacio de los Capitanes. Arched colonnades, balustrades, and layered terraces create a measured sequence of lines, guiding the eye through the space with order and restraint.

Tall palms rise through the centre of the courtyard, introducing movement and softness against the stone. Their vertical rhythm breaks the symmetry just enough, allowing air, light, and shadow to circulate through the composition.

Light shapes this space as much as architecture. Open sky and distant fortifications introduce depth, while the enclosed square below holds a quieter, contained atmosphere. Structure and openness exist in balance here: repetition creates calm, while the air between levels allows the image to breathe.

At scale, this work brings architectural clarity and composure into an interior. It offers a sense of history held lightly: ordered, spacious, and grounded.
