Last Lights

Moody cityscape painting capturing a dramatic urban atmosphere with expressive details. This artwork blends acrylic and oil pastel techniques on canvas, creating a dreamlike yet grounded vision of the city at dusk.

The composition shows a city street under fading light. Skyscrapers reflect the last glimmers of daylight, while the empty road suggests stillness and transition. The orange-pink sky meets the distant sea horizon, evoking a sense of solitude and quiet intensity. The painting is rich in texture, with visible brushstrokes and layered surfaces that invite close inspection.

This moody cityscape painting measures 60×60 cm. The mixed media approach enhances the contrast between hard urban structures and the fluid movement of light and shadow. The use of oil pastels adds softness and depth, while acrylic paint anchors the composition with bold tones and vivid highlights.

From a distance, the scene feels photographic. Up close, the textures and painterly gestures take over. This creates a dual experience: sharp perspective and emotional abstraction. The painting explores themes of isolation, urban beauty, and the fleeting nature of city life.

Ideal for collectors of modern and expressive artworks, this piece brings atmosphere and story to contemporary interiors. It has already been sold to a private collector, but it remains available as a visual reference for commissions or prints on request.

The moody cityscape painting is part of a larger series of works that explore the poetic tension between architecture and emotion. If you appreciate evocative city views and textured abstraction, this artwork belongs in your inspiration list.
