About the artwork

This digital artwork, titled "Goodnight from Utrecht", shows a charming and playful depiction of the city of Utrecht in which the famous Dom tower takes centre stage. In a simple, almost childlike drawing style, the tower is not lying proudly upright in the skyline, but resting - as if it were sleeping itself. The tower lies on a white pillow surrounded by a blanket, reminiscent of a bed. This composition creates the feeling that the city itself is going to bed, ready for the night.

The background is Utrecht red, adding warmth and intensity to the otherwise minimalist use of colour. The white surface with the black outlines of the bed and tower create a strong contrast. The lines are deliberately coarse and wavy, giving a human, almost hand-drawn quality to the work. At the bottom is the text "Goodnight from Utrecht" in a friendly, rounded font, giving it a soft and accessible feel.

The illustration is playful, touching and surprising. By placing a recognisable and historical symbol like the Dom tower in an intimate, homely setting, it takes on an almost human quality. It rests, just like the city's residents. The image evokes feelings of connection, peace and love for the city. It is not only a greeting to the viewer, but also a visual poem for Utrecht - an ode to the nocturnal silence descending over the city.
