City of Dreams (2021)Oil painting
by Aleksandr Neliubin

As the sun dips beneath the skyline, New York transforms.
The sky still holds its final breath of light, but the streets below begin to glow — with lanterns, shop windows, and the dreams of a thousand passersby.
In this painting, the Chrysler Building rises like a crown above the city, its iconic spire shimmering like a lighthouse in the urban sea.

I wanted to capture this fleeting moment — where night and day meet, where silence brushes shoulders with motion, and the city's soul feels almost tender.
This artwork shows the poetry of architecture and the bright lights of city evenings.

Using a combination of brushwork and palette knife, I layer texture upon texture, color upon emotion.
This piece is painted with my signature technique — impossible to copy, each stroke carries intention and heart.
