Untitled 2 (Passageway) Oil Cityscape Painting

Bathed in a single, nocturnal-blue register, this architectural scene turns stone into atmosphere, where the angled mass of the archway compresses space and then releases it into a corridor of repeated openings like measured breaths. Light slides across the blockwork in cool planes, sharpening edges while allowing deep shadows to pool—an interplay that makes the passage feel both protective and quietly forbidding, as if history itself is holding its silence. The lone motorcycle, small and contemporary against the ancient geometry, reads as a transient witness: a pause in motion that underscores the tension between endurance and impermanence. In this restrained palette, the work becomes less a depiction of place than a meditation on thresholds—how we move through time, and how stone remembers what we forget.
