About the artwork

Morning Light over the Brooklyn Bridge captures the iconic bridge in a subtle watercolour rendering, where simplicity meets realism. With soft pastel colours and clean lines, the work brings to life the atmosphere of an early sunrise over the Hudson River, while the contours of the bridge remain clear and crisp.

The composition exudes tranquillity and space. The Brooklyn Bridge, with its distinctive cables and piers, is carefully reduced to its essence. Not too detailed, but realistic enough to preserve its recognisable silhouette. The light shades of pink, blue and peach gently flow into each other, creating a sense of stillness and hope at the start of the day.

The water reflections are rendered minimally, as soft shadows connecting the horizon with the skyline in the background. This enhances the feeling of openness and clarity, typical of the Scandinavian approach to art and design.

The work invites a moment of contemplation. The bridge symbolises connection and movement, but here it stands still, caught in the soft morning light. The sculpture evokes a sense of calm, a pause in the continuous flow of city life.

Morning light over the Brooklyn Bridge is a harmonious interplay of simplicity and detail, colour and line. It is perfect for lovers of serene, modern art who want to experience urban icons with understated elegance.
