About the artwork

The digital artwork "IBB at night" depicts a stylised, almost dreamlike impression of a nocturnal cityscape. The composition is dominated by a deep blue sky, dotted with small, sparkling stars scattered across the canvas like silver dots. This starry sky enhances the sense of stillness and spaciousness, while subtly contrasting with the urban shapes below.
In the foreground are low flats, rendered in simplified, geometric shapes, with dark windows that testify to the tranquillity of a sleeping city. Two modern lampposts cast a soft, diffused light over the buildings and grass, subtly illuminating parts of the facades with even, lighter tones. This play of light and dark creates a sense of security amid the vast night.
Behind these low flats towers the iconic tall IBB flat, recognisable by its striking silhouette. The flat is similarly stylised, with minimalist lines and planes, but with a special detail: the illuminated stairwells that cut through the building like vertical strips of light. These bright strips break through the dark façade and give an impression of movement and life, despite the general silence. A single window still has light burning in it: a small, warm square that suggests a human story, a last waking soul in the night.
"IBB at Night" poetically captures the contrast between urban grandeur and personal intimacy, evoking an atmosphere of calm, reflection and solitude in the heart of the nocturnal city.
