Original artwork description:

There’s a kind of silence that only lives in narrow streets, just after the rain — when the pavement still glistens and the shadows haven’t yet retreated. “A Stroll Through Shadows” was my attempt to capture that in-between moment. The one where you walk slowly, as if careful not to wake the city.

I was fascinated by the contrast between the golden light breaking through the buildings and the quiet darkness under the trees. It’s a story of rhythm — of stillness and movement, of intimacy and distance. The layered brushwork and deep tonal shifts make it a contemplative piece, ideal for someone drawn to calm, urban beauty with emotional depth.
