Gorbatov uses a warm and vibrant palette that contrast beautifully with the dark blue sky, generating a dazzling effect that invites the viewer to witness the holiday. The splendor of the illuminated sky is reflected in the still waters of the Venetian channels, creating an almost dreamlike reflection that amplifies the sensation of wonder and magnificence.
Venetian architecture is displayed with its characteristics facades and gothic domes, silhouetted by the lights of the pyrotechnic show. Although the characters are not present in this work, you can feel the implicit presence of citizens and visitors through the festive atmosphere that is perceived. The city seems expectant, as if it were taken by a light spell.

The fireworks flames not only illuminate the sky, but also project a soft glow on buildings and water, creating a delicate balance between light and shadow. This game of lights and reflexes is typical of Gorbatov's style, and in "fireworks in Venice" it manifests itself particularly effectively.
