New York 58

This original New York cityscape painting is a striking reinterpretation of the city’s vertical energy and glowing atmosphere. Rather than offering a precise depiction, the work captures the emotional resonance of a moment. An urban memory seen through layers of light, color, and movement.

The composition plays with abstraction and structure, merging recognizable silhouettes of skyscrapers with blurred, atmospheric textures. The surface is built up with layers of acrylics, spray paint, and pastel, allowing for both bold accents and subtle transitions. These layers convey the sensation of viewing the city through time, distance, or even a rainy window.

A palette of electric purples, fiery oranges, and soft pinks evokes a dusk scene — when artificial lights begin to pulse against the fading daylight. The city emerges as vibrant and fragmented, echoing the rhythm of life below.

This work speaks to those who feel a connection with urban chaos and harmony. It’s a visual representation of how the mind stores places: imperfect, emotional, blurred by memory and sensation.

Part of a broader series dedicated to global metropolises, this piece explores not just architecture, but how we inhabit space emotionally. The aesthetic is contemporary, expressive, and deeply layered — inviting the viewer to pause, observe, and revisit.

Perfect for collectors of urban-inspired mixed media art, the painting makes a powerful statement in modern and contemporary interiors, especially in living rooms, studios, or workspaces that welcome bold, evocative imagery.
