About this work

This painting shows a cityscape with abstract shapes and lines. The city is made up of geometric buildings in shades of brown, orange, and blue. Above the city, there are abstract lines and shapes in black, red, and blue. The background of the painting is a mix of orange, yellow, and white, with some darker areas that give it depth. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the city is alive and in motion. If you like this style, you might also want to check out the work of artist Lancelot Ribeiro.
