In this work, a woman in a bright red dress takes centre stage, rendered sharp and clear as the city around her fades into motion. Her blonde hair seems frozen in the wind, a still moment in the midst of a hectic metropolis. The dark shadows of passers-by contrast sharply with her presence, making her as the protagonist immediately command all attention. The iconic yellow taxi reveals the setting: a New York street, where the mundane meets the cinematic.
This work is inspired by that one moment during a busy commute when you suddenly catch a glimpse of something beautiful - as if time stands still for a moment while the rest of the world races by. A fleeting dream, captured in a split second. For me personally, this felt like an image both powerful and melancholic: the contrast between impermanence and beauty.
Using my signature red as a guide, I deliberately chose sharp lines in the protagonist against the motion blur of the city. It gives this work a layered, almost cinematic character. A contemporary work of art that adds warmth, power and dynamism to any interior, and is perfectly at home in a modern or urban setting.
