About the artwork

The digital artwork *Chevrolet Impala* captures the soul of an iconic American classic in a close-up. Only a fragment of the car is visible - a piece of the roof, a glimpse of the side window - but this is enough to evoke a world of nostalgia and character. The viewer is immediately sucked into the interior, where a bright red interior is bathed in brilliant light and radiates warmth. Every detail is carefully rendered: from the gleaming chrome accents to the texture of the plastic.

The dashboard exudes the style of a bygone era, with round, analogue gauges for speed and temperature, and robust buttons reminiscent of aircraft cockpits. At the centre of the composition is the steering column with the gear shift table: the letters *R*, *N*, *D* and *L* light up, with the gear lever clearly set to *L*. This detail - the choice of lowest gear - suggests power and control, as if the car is about to flex its muscles.

Below, in the shadow under the steering wheel, a brake pedal is just visible with the inscription *POWER BRAKE* - a subtle reference to the brute force and technological flair of the era when the Impala reigned supreme. This artwork is not a simple representation of a car, but a loving ode to design, engineering and American dreamscapes, captured in a quiet, almost cinematic moment.
