Original artwork description:

This artwork is a vibrant tribute to Thessaloniki, combining the city’s iconic landmarks with Antoni Dragan’s signature Progressive Multipaint technique. In daylight, the scene celebrates the White Tower, the waterfront, and the movement of everyday life with expressive strokes, bright splashes of colour, and dynamic drippings.
Under UV light, a hidden dimension emerges: the spirit of Alexander the Great reveals itself across the White Tower, while the Vergina Sun appears on the opposite side, symbols of the city’s ancient heritage layered beneath its modern pulse.
In complete darkness, the painting transforms once more. The portrait of Alexander glows through the night, standing as a luminous guardian of Macedonia’s legacy.
This three-phase transformation, daylight, UV light, and darkness, creates a living artwork, one that shifts between contemporary cityscape and historical memory. Every phase reveals a different truth, making this piece not just a painting but an evolving experience.
Collectors of contemporary mixed media, urban expressionism, and interactive artworks will find in this piece a rare blend of technique, storytelling, and emotional impact.
