Color Palette:
A harmony of warm ochre, deep charcoal, antique gold, and soft sepia, subtly layered with hints of muted ivory and faint bronze. The palette evokes the nostalgic glow of evening light as it filters through a distant cityscape. Each tone resonates with time-worn elegance and urban stillness, where warmth meets shadow.
Theme:
Urban memory, reflection, timelessness, solitude, poetic architecture
Concept:
"Memory in Gold" is a visual meditation on the intersection of memory and space. The abstract cityscape dissolves into luminous textures, capturing an atmosphere of quiet recollection. Golden light dominates the composition, suggesting both a sunset and a fading thought. The forms feel architectural yet fluid—skyscrapers as fragments of emotion, horizons as metaphors for distance. This work invites contemplation, urging the viewer to linger in a moment suspended between presence and past.
Signature:
Signed on the back of the canvas
Technique:
Created with palette knife and dynamic brushwork, the piece features rich impasto and delicately blended transitions. Rough textures are softened by smooth washes of gold, creating a tactile depth. Subtle linear structures suggest city grids and reflections, while vertical and horizontal strokes offer a visual rhythm akin to an urban heartbeat. The layering of metallic and matte finishes adds dimensionality, capturing shifts in light and mood.
