Original artwork description:

"One Step Closer (Urban Rooftops)" captures a moment just before something shifts — before the city wakes, or a story begins.

It’s a quiet cityscape, painted in oils on toned linen. I chose to leave the background fabric visible, letting its natural color become part of the atmosphere. The rooftop foreground and layered facades echo the textures of real life: raw, softened by weather and time, touched with stories.

I wanted this painting to feel lived-in — like the quiet rhythm of a morning view, with windows not just as geometry, but as silent witnesses.

• Oil on toned linen (90×90 cm)
• Satin varnish protects tones and surface
• Ships stretched and ready to hang
• Sides unpainted, preserving the raw linen finish
• Signed front and back, Certificate of Authenticity included

• In person, the textures and warmth of the fabric are far more pronounced
