About the artwork

This painting is a breathtaking atmospheric artwork that captures the serenity and mystery of a city at night. It depicts the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, majestic and powerful, as it stretches across a quiet, reflective river. The New York skyline adorns the background, shrouded in a soft, misty haze, giving the city an almost ethereal look. The buildings, including a recognisable tower possibly representing the One World Trade Center, are subtly rendered and exude an understated power.

The colour palette consists mainly of deep, cool tones such as midnight blue, grey and black, which enhance the mysterious atmosphere. Against this are warm accents of golden and orange light, coming from the city lights and their reflections in the water. This warm glow seems to bring the painting to life, as if the city is breathing while the world around it is silent.

The painting technique is impressionistic with thick, expressive brushstrokes that emphasise texture and movement. The paint seems almost tangible, with layered sweeping strokes giving the bridge, river and skyline a dynamic and vibrant character. The moonlight, prominent, gently illuminates the scene, adding a calm, almost romantic dimension.

The scene exudes a melancholic beauty, as if it has captured a moment in time when the city feels both powerful and vulnerable. The artwork invites introspection while evoking admiration for the grandeur of the city and the quiet power of the night.
