About the artwork

This elegant Canberra illustration brings a sophisticated Art Deco vision to Australia’s capital. Centered around the glistening waters of Lake Burley Griffin, the artwork highlights two of the city’s most iconic landmarks: the National Carillon in the foreground and Parliament House rising proudly behind it. A radiant sunburst dominates the sky, casting long golden beams across the lake and creating a powerful, majestic atmosphere.

The illustration’s palette blends soft blues, muted golds, and gentle earth tones, creating a refined and calming effect. The reflective water offers a perfect mirror of the sky, enhancing the balance and symmetry that Canberra is known for in its urban design. Subtle greenery frames the edges, reminding the viewer of the city’s abundant parklands and tranquil outdoor spaces.

This artwork is perfect for fans of architecture, politics, design, and Australian history. It suits offices, study rooms, libraries, government buildings, modern homes, or any interior aiming for a dignified, serene aesthetic. The clean lines and symmetrical layout blend beautifully with contemporary décor, minimalist environments, and spaces desiring a calm yet striking focal point.

The sunburst motif creates a sense of optimism and national pride — a symbol of growth, clarity, and bright horizons. The scene feels both timeless and modern, capturing Canberra’s unique position at the intersection of nature, culture, and governance.
