Urban Mirage (2025)Oil painting by Olga McNamara BiennaleArtist

“Urban Mirage” is my vision of a city that exists somewhere between reality and imagination. I wanted to create a place that feels familiar but distant, like a dream you almost remember. The deep blues and soft light are for the quiet mystery of a city at night, and the streaks of orange and gold add warmth, as if life is pulsing beneath the surface. Buildings seem to shift and melt into the sky, creating an illusion of movement—nothing is solid; everything feels connected. This painting is about how cities can be both real and unreal, shaped by memory, emotion, and the way we see the world around us.
Can be bought as a part of dyptich with “Mystique ”. Together they could represent a journey, transformation, or the balance between chaos and harmony
