Original artwork description:

This watercolor is a personal tribute to Gran Vía — the lifeline of Madrid, pulsing with elegance, history, and motion. As someone who now calls this city home, I find myself endlessly captivated by its atmosphere — vibrant, ever-changing, and full of quiet drama.

With each brushstroke, I strive to capture the fleeting enchantment I witness daily: the regal silhouettes of buildings, the heartbeat of the city in motion, and the delicate interplay of light and shadow that brings the streets to life.

In this piece, Gran Vía glows beneath the amber light of a setting sun. The rain-slick pavement becomes a mirror for the city’s restless spirit — reflecting headlights, hurried footsteps, and moments that vanish as quickly as they appear. This painting is both a discovery and a dialogue — the city speaks in shimmering tones, and I respond through color and form.
