Abstract Cityscape Painting – ‘Cityscape’ by Sophia Persephone
This abstract cityscape painting makes an ideal bold centrepiece for a modern room. I used professional-grade acrylic paints, charcoal, Caran d’Ache crayons, and oil sticks to create a vibrant, multi-layered piece of art.
The painting developed over a long period of time, across many studio sessions. You can see traces of earlier decisions in the layers, which invites the viewer to become part of the artistic process—retracing my steps as the work unfolded.
In this piece, I used a different colour palette than usual, with far more black and blue than I typically include in my work. Over time, this began to evoke the darker tones of a cityscape, and the painting naturally started to evolve in that direction.
Pops of colour lift the composition and guide the eye around the painting. The lighter, geometric areas remind me of the traditional white houses found near my home in Southern Spain. These shapes often appear in my abstract work, seemingly subconsciously. The white buildings of Andalusia—and the deep shadows they cast in the strong sun—often inspire the juxtaposition of black and white in my paintings, creating both drama and interest.
