Piece description from the artist
In creating this artwork, I was inspired by the vibrant and optimistic spirit of a partly sunny day at the Brooklyn Bridge. My playful use of bold color and dynamic shapes represent the bustling city life in the background along with the interplay of more organic forms of people, dogs and birds. I combined elements of pop art and figurative expression to capture the essence of urban energy and community interaction. This piece is a celebration of the joy and vitality that the city offers, perfectly suited to invigorate any living space with a burst of inspiration and color.
