This painting serves as an excellent example of the sky's dominance and its crucial role in the work's emotional impact. I aimed to create a visually striking effect where the clouds merge and mingle colors, forming a turbulent, swirling sea overhead. Compositionally, I focused on the way the River Thames sweeps from the foreground through the mid-ground and into the distance, mapping and hugging the city limits around Canary Wharf.
The Canary Wharf buildings themselves rise in the mid-ground like simplified blocks, their structural forms capturing the essence of the architecture while contributing to the overall dramatic character of the painting. I wanted to convey their solidity and the way their form and color contribute to a powerful impression of London, capturing the viewer's imagination. This particular painting emerged not from a single source, but from a synthesis of numerous photographs and drawings gathered over time. In this sense, it embodies a process, capturing an accumulation of moments and observations within the fixed perimeter of the canvas. What you are looking at isn't one specific captured instant, but a collection of moments distilled into one image. The power of this painting lies partly in this quality – it is completely unreal in its construction, yet it retains the vital essence of reality. Ultimately, here too, my goal was to capture a profound sense of depth and visual excitement through the exploration of space.
