Piece description from the artist
In this lively piece, I sought to capture the bustling essence of New York City urban life through vibrant, contrasting colors and fluid, exaggerated forms. Embracing expressionism and pop art, I portray the architectural beauty of the famous Flatiron Building and dynamic energy of the cityscape. This painting is a celebration of human ingenuity and the colorful chaos of daily city life. It brings a burst of energy and a splash of color to any space, invoking vitality and inspiration.
