About the artwork

The picture shows a striking piece of urban architecture in the Rieth district of Erfurt. It shows prefabricated buildings from the 1970s, complemented by a mural with an expressive design language and a raised, cubic tower that characterises the image with its clear geometry. The sky with its heavy clouds reinforces the atmosphere of density and lends the scene an almost dramatic expression. The inspiration was everyday urban life and the way in which architecture, art and history are interwoven in this location.

The design language thrives on contrasts: strict grid surfaces, right angles and the graphic rhythm of the façades are juxtaposed with the dynamic, organic lines of the mural. This superimposition of rigid architecture and lively painting creates tension and balance at the same time. The result is an atmosphere that is both sober and narrative.

The message is subtle - it speaks of memory, of urban identity and of the attempt to enrich the functional through art. This work is suitable for modern, industrial or minimalist furnishing styles as well as for spaces that embrace brutalism, urban photography or retro-futuristic trends.

What makes the interior design picture special is its documentary power: it is not just an architectural photograph, but a visual testimony to the times. The Rieth, as one of the large new housing estates of the GDR, visibly displays a piece of its history here - between the built grid, artistic expression and the everyday life of the residents.
