The Silhoutte of Warsaw (2016)Watercolour
by Alona Hryn

I've been hatching this idea for a couple of years, pondering a whole series of silhouette cities. The question was only for the depicted objects - will they agree or not?!;)) Sightseeings or little recognizable streets and houses?! Different cities or one familiar?! Color or b/w?!

Love with cities happens after the fact - sometimes immediately, sometimes after months or years. Often it depends on a hasty acquaintance, the gloomy weather, no time for communication. But you cannot order your heart! Each city has its own relationship - romantic, thoughtful, concise, flirty, refined ... So different and still very similar. Silhouette cities - my love story with the cities?

The feeling of the unknown is wonderful, I love it very much! When you don't know what is around the corner, behind that house, on the pages of a new book, in the soul of a casual passerby... I like to get to know the city from scratch, I like traveling without maps and preliminary plans - only you and the city, you and his story, you and what he wants to show/tell you. Sometimes the silhouette of the city attracts, lures, captivates, does not let go... much stronger/longer than a detailed realistic image.
