Description
In a semi-abstract style, this work captures the artist's perception of life in the modern city. The towering skyscrapers, bustling apartment blocks and dazzling lights create a facade of luxury and grandeur. Yet, beneath this glittering exterior lies a profound emptiness, a disconnection from genuine emotions. The artist conveys this personal sense of solitude through the delicate interplay of simple shapes and colours, crafting a scene that is both resonating and reflective.
