The digital artwork entitled Hotel New York depicts an iconic cityscape of Rotterdam in a minimalist, almost serene composition. At the centre of the image is the historic Hotel New York, a sturdy building with classic architecture and its characteristic turrets. The hotel is clearly the focal point: rich in detail, with warm red-brown tones and accents of copper and green. The façade exudes nostalgia and is a striking contrast to the clean lines of the modern high-rise behind it.
The background shows a series of gleaming towers, symbols of the progressive city that Rotterdam is today. These tall buildings rise stately, reinforcing the contrast between old and new. The composition emphasises the stratification of Rotterdam's architecture: the industrial past and the innovative future side by side.
The sky above the city is bright blue and sleek, without a single cloud. This summer sky adds a sense of calm to the work. The absence of people enhances the atmosphere of silence and contemplation, focusing the eye entirely on the architecture. The colours are vibrant but not exaggerated: the work exudes warmth, light and urban pride.
The artwork invites reflection on the changes in the city and the balance between history and renewal. An ode to a recognisable place, captured in timeless digital paint strokes.
