A digital artwork titled Chalon-sur-Saône captures a hushed moment on the banks of the Saône at sunset. The evening sky forms the heart of the image: a seamless colour gradient from intense red at the horizon to deep night blue in the zenith. This warm to cool transition immerses the scene in an atmosphere of tranquillity and melancholy.
Against this enchanting sky, sharp silhouettes of an industrial inner harbour stand out. Ornately drawn cranes rise up like giant insects, flanked by geometric shapes of sheds and warehouses. At the edges are a few trees, their branches bare or gently moved by their leaves, depending on the season the artist depicts. No people can be seen - the scene exudes a post-industrial silence.
The river is mirror-smooth, as if holding the image. In the unmoving water, the shapes of the skyline repeat, disturbed only by subtle blends of colour. Red and blue mix into purple reflections that give the composition depth and balance.
Digital technology allows every detail to be perfectly controlled: from the sharpness of silhouettes to the soft, grain-free colour gradient of the sky. The absence of wind and movement reinforces the impression of a timeless moment, caught between day and night.
Chalon-sur-Saône is a contemplative study of light, shadow and silence - a digital landscape in which urban structures merge with natural elements in a moment of perfect harmony.
