Nocturne, acryl on paper, 23,7 x 31,4 cm, 2023

 

Any city undergoes a profound metamorphosis as darkness envelops the urban landscape. It becomes a realm of shadows and a symphony of artificial lights. The once-familiar streets, now bathed in the artificial glow of street lamps and neon signs, adopt an entirely different character. Every corner reveals a new facet, hidden in plain sight during the day but emerging as a nocturnal gem after dark. It is a world of contrasts, where light shapes new perspectives and a unique tapestry of mystery and allure.

Nocturne, derived from the Latin “nocturnus", meaning "belonging to the night”, perfectly encapsulates this transformation.
