"Metropolis Under the Stars" is a modern interpretation of Van Gogh's "Starry Night", in which the iconic swirls and twinkling stars unite over the silhouette of a contemporary city. It is a work that captures the vibrant energy of urban culture beneath a dancing cosmos, symbolising both the endless possibilities and humanity's puny place in the universe.
The skyline, with its towering buildings and glittering lights, is captured at a moment when evening falls and the sky comes alive with an explosion of colour. The reflection in the water doubles the beauty, creates a symmetry and brings a moment of calm to the hectic nature of the day.
In "Metropolis Under the Stars" I wanted to portray the power of the natural world over the man-made world, a reminder that above our greatest achievements there is still a greater spectacle taking place. It is a visual paean to the beauty of the night and the inspiration it can give us.
