"RUSH HOUR ECHOES" By Toni Al Mallouf

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Dimensions: 90x70 cm

Description: Rush Hour Echoes captures the sensory overload of urban life at its peak. A swirling vortex of textures and colors pulls the viewer into a city caught between motion and memory. Hints of high-rise buildings in fiery reds, pinks, oranges, and greens form a fragmented skyline, buzzing with intensity and layered movement.

At the heart of the piece is a surreal, oversized clock embedded into the city’s core—its hands frozen in time over a sea of blue that suggests either sky or water, offering a moment of stillness amid chaos. Spirals, dots, and abstracted crowds flood the foreground, giving the impression of constant motion—people rushing, lights blinking, moments slipping away.

This is not just a city; it’s a pulse, a pattern, an echo of countless daily stories overlapping and converging in one powerful visual rhythm.
