DESCRIPTION

The “City of Light” painting invites one to contemplate an imagined city where the rising sun awakens its inhabitants with glimmers of morning light that are pulled deep into its urban fabric below. By weaving natural sunlight deep within the urban fabric at sunrise, this city acts as an awakening clock – not for timekeeping in the traditional sense – but instead, for nurturing the physical and spiritual well-being of its citizens as beautiful natural daylight strategically seeps into all darkened niches, no matter how large or small. Imagine: At sunrise each morning, the sky and city blur boundaries to yield an urban fabric that nurtures human flourishing. This is a city where light enters architectural form to heal, uplift, and transcend each morning.

FROM THE COLLECTION

This piece is from the YOUtopia Collection, where each painting imagines an allegory of place that awakens profound consciousness. At the physical level, the paintings invite viewers into imagined improbable places that stir the soul with beauty, light, and ethereal materiality of form. At the metaphysical level, each place “paints” within one’s soul to awaken the infinite potentiality of humanity toward creating a better, more utopian world. This ultimately inspires the next evolution of the highest expression of you. This is the ideal self as seen through the allegory of architecture. This is YOUtopia.
