City Pulse

Size: 24 x 18"

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Description: City Pulse is a vibrant, abstract interpretation of urban life — loud, layered, and constantly in motion. With vertical streaks and blocks of saturated color layered over moody greys and blacks, the painting evokes the feeling of a city alive with energy.

Bright reds, electric blues, warm yellows, and neon pinks emerge through textured strokes like lights in a storm, while the blurred reflections below ground the composition in a shimmering haze. There’s a rhythm to the chaos: vertical forms hint at towers or figures, while the horizontal divide suggests water or pavement catching the city’s glimmering echo.

The dynamic brushwork and interplay between light and shadow create a sense of movement and urgency, as if the city itself is breathing, humming with ambition and electricity.

Inspiration:  This painting was inspired by late-night city walks and the fragmented beauty of urban spaces — reflections in puddles, flashing signs, the blur of taillights, and quiet corners glowing with color. It captures how even in the rush and noise, there’s a pulse: an undercurrent of human presence, resilience, and unexpected beauty.
