Original artwork description:

What fascinates me most about cities is how they absorb and reflect light — especially in those fleeting minutes when day slips into night. "Evening Steals the Sun" captures that elusive moment when the last warmth of the sun pours between buildings like liquid gold, clinging to the edges of towers, turning the street into a corridor of fire.

This is not a static view — it’s a pulse. A transition. The glow is bold and dramatic, yet the sky remains hushed, almost contemplative. I was interested in how vertical lines and saturated reds can hold so much emotional weight — and how silence and movement can coexist in a single scene. The play of deep shadows and illuminated windows adds depth, inviting you to step into the rhythm of the street without ever leaving your room.
