Description of the work: Elevadores de Lisboa — watercolour featuring two yellow lifts descending a steep street between narrow façades. The translucent light creates cool shadows on the ground and highlights the warm yellow of the elevators, while wires and rooftops delineate the urban geometry. With an inclined perspective and loose brushwork, the painting suggests movement and rhythm; small human figures reinforce the scale and presence of the city. The fine washes and the transparencies give delicacy to the architectural details without losing the energy of the scene. Perfect for those who appreciate urban landscapes filled with color, it is an elegant addition to your space.
