Shadow City 9 (A Cityscape Mosaic) Oil Cityscape Painting

This cityscape compresses the urban world into a tightly tessellated field of rooftops and facades, where architecture becomes a kind of living fabric rather than a set of discrete buildings. A cool, dusted palette of blue-greys and chalky whites softens the hard geometry, letting light skim across surfaces as if memory itself were bleaching the scene into quiet persistence. The composition’s stacked planes deny a single horizon, suggesting a metropolis that grows by accumulation—layered histories, private interiors, and anonymous routines pressed into one continuous pulse. In its near-abstract repetition, the work turns density into contemplation, inviting the viewer to sense both the sheltering intimacy and the claustrophobic inevitability of modern habitation.
