"OLD CITY" By Toni Al Maalouf

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Dimensions: 70x50 cm 

Description: This abstract cityscape offers a vivid interpretation of a modern metropolis, where architectural forms dissolve into color and emotion. With layered brushstrokes and a palette of saturated yellows, pinks, turquoise, and deep grays, the painting captures the chaotic harmony of urban life.

Vertical strokes echo skyscrapers, while more abstract, blurred shapes suggest streets, lights, and motion. A soft, misty gray sky sits behind the fragmented skyline, emphasizing the contrast between structure and spontaneity. The faint arches and curves in the foreground add a dreamlike, almost futuristic touch to the otherwise rigid composition.

Urban Reverie doesn’t depict a specific place—it evokes the feeling of a city remembered or imagined. It's a reflection on the fast pace, complexity, and vibrant beauty that cities hold within their ever-evolving landscapes.
