About the artwork

This digital artwork shows an intriguing urban landscape of Utrecht, focusing on Hoog Catharijne, the restored Singel and the Poortgebouw. The image shows the transition from old to new and captures the harmony between historical context and modern urban development.
Central to the artwork is the Poortgebouw: a stately, contemporary structure of glass and steel. The façade catches the soft light of the afternoon sun, casting a warm glow over the building. This contrast between light and shadow emphasises the clean lines and open character of the architecture.
At the foot of the building, the Singel, the recently reopened water surrounding the city centre, winds through the image like a soothing element. The reflection of the sky, trees and buildings in the water creates a sense of depth and movement. Along the bank, people move - walking, cycling or sitting on benches - subtly expressing urban life.
In the background, Hoog Catharijne is visible as a modern, lively centre, with transparent facades and a clear interplay of lines. Its structure matches the forms of the Gatehouse, emphasising the coherence within the cityscape.
The colour palette consists of natural tones - soft blues, warm greys and reflective water light - that exude tranquillity and balance. The work captures the essence of a city in transition: a place where history and renewal meet in a carefully designed environment.
