Painting Name:
Old City 2 (2006)
On Silk
70 x 80 cm
The USP – Where Heritage Meets Minimalist Serenity
Old City 2 continues the exploration of architectural memory through a refined contemporary lens. Rendered on silk and measuring 70 x 80 cm, the artwork carries a soft radiance that gently blurs the boundary between structure and atmosphere. The silk medium enhances the fluidity of forms, allowing the cityscape to feel both tangible and poetic—anchored in history yet floating in quiet reflection.
Rather than presenting a literal depiction, the composition captures the essence of an old city—its silence, rhythm, and enduring presence. Subtle tonal variations and carefully balanced negative space create depth without heaviness. The minimalist approach strips away unnecessary detail, focusing instead on mood and timeless character.
Old City 2 invites viewers to step into a space shaped by memory and contemplation. Its calm sophistication and cultural resonance make it a compelling addition to modern interiors that appreciate artistry rooted in history yet expressed with elegant restraint.
