Cyber Metropolis

by Christian Ovís

Cyber Metropolis offers a sweeping view of a futuristic city bathed in warm evening light. Two exceptionally tall towers dominate the centre and the right-hand half of the image. Narrow vertical lines run along their façades, interrupted by protruding platforms and rounded shapes. Below lie densely packed buildings, roads and green spaces. On the left, the sun shines through a cloudy sky, bathing the distant skyline in a golden glow.

The combination of dark foreground buildings and a light background lends the cityscape great depth. The straight towers stand out sharply against the softer shapes of the clouds. Golden-brown and copper-coloured accents on the architecture contrast with the grey-blue of the shaded areas. Small silhouettes flying through the air enhance the futuristic atmosphere. The high vantage point allows you to see both the city’s grand structure and its many small architectural details.

This panoramic cityscape will appeal to lovers of science fiction and imaginary architecture. In a modern living room, study or meeting room, it makes for a striking focal point. Warm wood tones, dark grey and brass-coloured details complement the light and the buildings. The wide composition looks particularly good above a sofa or sideboard. The work combines the energy of a big city with the tranquil glow of a low-set sun.
