About the artwork

This digital artwork depicts the imposing tower of St John's Cathedral against a breathtaking backdrop of a subtly changing evening sky. The artist has adopted a clean and stylised approach where realism gives way to digital sophistication, with an emphasis on shape, colour and symmetry. The sky gradually changes from a warm purple glow at the bottom to a deeper, cooler shade of blue at the top, giving the monument an almost magical silhouette.

The tower is rich in architectural detail: from the Gothic arches in the lower section to the Baroque elements in the upper structure. The lighting inside the tower provides warm accents that enhance the contrast with the cool exterior. The clock on the tower shows the time 21:45, and the yellow hands and Roman numerals are a striking focal point.

The digital style emphasises the clean lines and planes, giving the building an almost graphic character. At the same time, the recognisability of St John's Cathedral is preserved. The choice of bright colours, sharp contrasts and the omission of superfluous details give the work a modern, almost poster-like look.

The work not only captures the architectural splendour of the cathedral, but also evokes a sense of calm and contemplation. By casting traditional religious architecture in a contemporary digital form, the artist subtly connects past and present. This artwork is both a tribute to cultural heritage and an example of how digital media can enhance historical beauty.
