Original artwork description:

This artwork depicts a dense, exploding metropolis drawn in intricate black linework against a textured, earth-toned background. Inspired by megacities like Tokyo and the overwhelming rhythm of urban life, it captures the energy, congestion, and organized chaos of modern cityscapes. I hope viewers feel both fascination and tension—a sense of being pulled into the city’s pulse while questioning how architecture, infrastructure, and human movement intertwine. The hand-drawn ink style was chosen for its precision and immediacy, allowing every building and pathway to feel alive. The mixed-media background adds depth and warmth, contrasting the sharpness of the city and emphasizing the collision between structure and emotion.

Materials used:

Acrylic, Ink, Gold acrylic
