In this artwork, the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro is viewed through the lens of a watercolour-inspired technique. Towering majestically over the densely built-up metropolis is the statue of Christ, a global symbol of peace and refuge. The silhouette of the city is detailed yet subtle, with gentle colour transitions that artfully blend the urban character and natural features of Rio. The hills in the background, including the famous Sugar Loaf Mountain, are rendered in soft tones that emphasise their majestic presence while creating a dreamlike mood. The sky above is a composition of washy splashes of colour, emphasising the dynamic and vibrant spirit of the city. The illustration captures the contrasting character of Rio: The wild natural wonders that rise alongside the urban architecture, and the cultural heritage that is deeply woven into the city's everyday life. This painting is not just a depiction of a cityscape, it is a celebration of the spirit of Rio, echoed in every brushstroke and nuance of colour.
