Minimalist Metropolis

by Christian Ovís

Minimalist Metropolis depicts an abstract city in vibrant neon colours. Tall, rectangular towers stand against a deep dark-blue background. Cyan, orange, pink and purple form bright bands between the buildings. In the foreground, curved and diagonal lines intersect like a stylised bridge structure. Fine, cable-like stripes connect the broad areas of colour and give the lower section an open, rhythmic structure.

The skyline consists of long vertical forms with small window grids here and there. Variations in height and colour create a layered cityscape. The sloping movement at the bottom contrasts with the straight towers and guides the eye through the composition. A broad orange band of light in the top right-hand corner and the pink area next to it draw the eye upwards. Dark blue spaces separate the bright colours from one another and create depth.

This geometric city illustration suits a modern interior with bold colour accents. In a study, living room or games room, the image forms an energetic focal point. A dark wall can enhance the midnight blue character; against a light background, the coloured lines stand out sharply. Turquoise and pink accessories can echo individual shades found in the artwork. The vertical format also gives even a narrow wall the feel of a towering, imaginary metropolis.
