Cityscape 2 (Cityscape at Sunset)

The painting compresses the city into a canyon of saturated reds and blues, where thick, restless impasto turns architecture into memory and motion rather than fixed form. A vertical seam of pale light opens at the center like a brief clearing of breath, pulling the eye past traffic and figures into a distant, almost spiritual vanishing point. Reflections on the rain-slick street double the scene, suggesting how urban life is lived twice—once in the body and again in the shimmering afterimage of sensation. In this collision of heat and coolness, the metropolis becomes both shelter and pressure, a place where anonymity gathers into a shared, flickering humanity.
