Description

The composition of the painting features a dense grid of rectangular and square forms in shades of yellow, orange, red, and subtle browns. These overlapping and interpenetrating planes create the illusion of multi-story buildings, streets, and city blocks, seen from various perspectives. The intensity of the colors and their mutual contrasts reflect the dynamism and bustle of the metropolis.

Within this abstract structure, subtle, almost graphic lines can be discerned, further complicating the space and suggesting the city’s complex infrastructure. Darker contours and stronger color accents reinforce the visual rhythm and emphasize the energy emanating from the urban landscape.

The central part of the painting appears particularly intense, with a concentration of forms and colors, which may symbolize the city center or the busiest districts. Lighter areas of the canvas contrast with darker regions, suggesting the play of light and shadow between tall buildings.

“New York”, is a painting that emanates the energy and dynamism of a great city. Its complex structure and rich color palette encourage close viewing and the discovery of successive layers of interpretation. It is not a literal depiction of New York but rather an abstract processing of its essence – its constant activity, architectural diversity, and pulsating life. This artwork constitutes a unique and personal perspective on one of the world’s most iconic metropolises.
