Sonia J. - "Urban Pulse II"

A contemporary abstract oil painting designed to introduce energy, rhythm, and architectural depth into urban living spaces.

Description:
"Urban Pulse II" is a contemporary abstract oil painting conceived specifically for modern city apartments. The composition combines vertical movement with sharp linear gestures, creating a visual rhythm that echoes urban structures, night lights, and layered city surfaces. Dominated by deep teal and blue tones, the painting is activated by vivid pink and red accents that cut through the surface. These contrasts bring dynamism and presence while maintaining a controlled, contemporary balance suitable for residential interiors. Despite its expressive mark-making, the work remains cohesive and architectural. It enhances a space without overpowering it, making it particularly effective in apartments where art must coexist with clean lines, curated furniture, and modern materials. This painting works as a statement piece at an intimate scale, offering visual intensity without visual noise.
