About the artwork

This fascinating interpretation of a city skyline shows a completely new perspective on urban architecture. The buildings literally seem to melt and drip their essence downwards. The image is dominated by warm reds and glowing orange colours that look like liquid fire. These hot colours are contrasted by cooler blues and greys on the left, creating an exciting balance.

The central Empire State Building rises majestically out of this colourful mass and serves as a point of orientation in this surreal scenario. The composition of the picture follows a clear structure: The upper half shows the still recognisable contours of the skyscrapers, while the lower half depicts the "melting" drops of colour flowing downwards like stalactites.

The art style is reminiscent of modern watercolour techniques mixed with digital effects. The colours flow organically into one another and create soft transitions that seem to be guided by gravity. The cream background enhances the effect of the bright colours and makes them literally glow. This image transforms an ordinary cityscape into a poetic work of art about transience and transformation.
