Original artwork description:

A vibrant, highly expressive cityscape at night. Bold, impasto brushstrokes and luminous colors depict a bustling street in downtown Shanghai.

Intense blues and violets dominate the sky, lending the scene a nocturnal depth. Neon colors such as pink, yellow, red, and turquoise provide luminous accents on the facades, billboards, and streetlights.

Numerous people are visible in the foreground. They walk across a wet street, its surface reflecting the lights and creating additional plays of color. These reflections reinforce the impression of rain, giving the painting an atmospheric, almost cinematic feel.

The painting conveys the energy of city life with a poetic, emotional palette and invites the viewer to experience the scene not realistically, but emotionally.

Oil on canvas, impasto technique, 2017.
