Cityscape 2

The painting compresses a city into a restless mosaic of stacked dwellings, each block of color acting like a lived-in cell within a vast collective organism. Saturated reds, ochres, and blues collide and overlap, creating a rhythmic density that feels both celebratory and claustrophobic—community as warmth, yet also as compression. Above this packed architecture, the skyline dissolves into smoky vertical veils, as if the city’s aspirations and exhaust mingle into the same atmospheric haze, blurring the boundary between growth and erasure. The overall effect is a tender, unsettled meditation on urban life: resilience built from countless small rectangles of survival, always on the verge of dissolving back into light and dust.
