Description
An architectural cityscape composed of closely packed buildings. The structures vary in shape and style, featuring steeply pitched roofs, tall chimneys, arched windows, and textured stone or brick walls. The composition is dense, with overlapping elements. The artist uses a limited palette of muted tones. mainly black, white, beige, and olive green, emphasizing line work and texture rather than color. The drawing style blends realism with abstraction: while architectural details are recognizable, the perspective is somewhat flattened, and lines are expressive and gestural.
