It would complement spaces with traditional or eclectic decor, adding a touch of cultural richness. This artwork will complement any room or space beyond those mentioned, depending on individual preference.
The mood conveyed is a mix of serenity and vibrancy. While the architectural structures create a sense of timelessness and grandeur, the human activity adds a lively, dynamic atmosphere, reflecting the bustling life of the city.
The composition is well-balanced, with a strong focus on the stairs leading from the river to the buildings above. The eye is naturally drawn upwards through the vertical lines of the architecture and the diagonal lines of the steps. Figures are scattered throughout, creating a sense of scale and depth.
The colour palette is composed of warm earth tones such as ochre, beige, and brown, with subtle accents of muted greens and blues. The use of light creates realistic shadows and highlights, giving depth and texture to the architecture and figures.
