I was thrilled to be commissioned to create this piece, capturing the iconic London skyline from Westminster, past The Shard, The City, and out towards Canary Wharf. There’s something truly special about working on a piece that celebrates London, a city that’s constantly changing yet so rich with history. This commission allowed me to bring my vision of London’s energy and diversity to life, and I couldn’t wait to dive in.
In this piece, I wanted to capture the essence of the city using bold, geometric blocks of colour. By abstracting the landscape, I aimed to give a sense of London’s vibrancy and complexity, from the flowing Thames to the unique architecture that defines each district. The soft, pastel tones bring a calmness to the composition, while the structure of the shapes and lines adds a sense of movement and rhythm. It was important to me that the painting not only represented these iconic landmarks but also reflected the character and colour of London’s varied landscape.
Completing this piece was incredibly rewarding, and I’m happy to share that the client was just as thrilled with the final result. Hearing their positive feedback—how it exceeded their expectations and captured the feeling they were hoping for—was the perfect end to this project. There’s no better feeling than seeing someone connect with a piece you’ve poured your heart into.
This commission was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to create something that celebrates London in such a unique way. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next!
