New York Oldies

This painting captures an iconic view of the New York skyline, highlighting the Statue of Liberty and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The work, painted in a realistic and detailed style, immortalizes a bygone era of the city before the events of September 11, 2001.

In the foreground, the Statue of Liberty stands majestically on its pedestal, symbolizing freedom and hope. Its green silhouette contrasts with the blue of the water and sky, creating a powerful focal point. The reflection of the light on the water adds depth and movement, enhancing the sense of realism.

Behind it, the Twin Towers dominate the horizon, their rectilinear and geometric forms standing out among the other buildings. The sunlight, possibly from an autumn afternoon, bathes the skyscrapers in warm tones of yellow and orange, while the shadows add dramatic contrast. The surrounding buildings, with their varied architectural styles, enrich the composition, reflecting the urban diversity of Manhattan.

The sky is painted with soft brushstrokes suggesting light clouds, providing a serene and luminous atmosphere. The boats and ferries in the water, depicted with precise details, add elements of activity and movement, capturing the essence of a city always in motion.
