Original artwork description:

This painting, titled Urban Landscape-Red rectangle, has gone through many changes, as each time I returned to it, I saw it differently. It reflects my experiences of moving through urban spaces and noticing the textures, colors, and moods of different environments.

The work is inspired by psychogeography—the practice of exploring spaces in a way that focuses on their atmosphere and emotional impact. It’s about wandering, observing, and connecting with the subtle details that make each place unique. The piece captures the fleeting moments of being present and the cultural layers that shape the cities we live in or pass through.

Through this artwork, I aim to show how we experience and remember our surroundings—not just as physical spaces but through the emotions and impressions they leave behind.

The landscape is based on Málaga, Spain. The red rectangle in the foreground appeared spontaneously during the process, and I left it as it was. To me, it could represent the invisible rules that shape every place or a subtle reminder that what we see as reality isn’t always the whole truth.
