Red City

Grounded

120 x 180 cm | acrylic on linen

€ 4.800,-

Red City is an abstract painting from the Grounded series, inspired by the warm earthy tones and rich colour contrasts of Marrakech and the surrounding desert. Ochre, burnt browns and golden yellows form the base, combined with touches of soft green and layered purples – colours that echo textiles, spices and market scenes. The surface is built up with layers of champagne gold, bronze and rose gold. These subtle metallic accents catch the light and shift throughout the day, creating a quiet sense of movement. The balance between matte and reflective areas adds depth and refinement. Although I haven’t visited this place yet, the work is shaped through imagination. It’s a landscape that develops layer by layer – a journey I’ve already started in my mind. The painting is stretched on a 4.5 cm deep aluminium frame. The sides are fully painted, allowing the piece to be hung without a frame. Interested in Red City? Feel free to get in touch for pricing or to schedule a studio visit. If you like this style but are looking for a different size or colour palette, I also create commissioned pieces.
