City Scape Snowing (2023) captures a city not through its skyline, but through its atmosphere — a feeling of presence softened by distance, like snowfall on steel. This 72 x 72 inch acrylic painting is part of the Out of Darkness Collection, and it explores how quiet can descend even in the busiest places.

The composition balances vertical and horizontal strokes in cool grays, soft whites, dusky violets, and hints of golden warmth. Buildings are not defined, but suggested — fading into the canvas like memory during a snowfall. The flurry is not literal. It’s emotional. A haze of stillness over a hum of life.

I painted this during a time of internal retreat — while living in the noise but craving stillness. The city was all around me, but I longed for that veil of snow that makes everything feel new, quiet, a little more possible.

This piece finds visual kinship with Cy Twombly and the loose, gestural structure of his later works — but where Twombly scribbled into myth, I traced absence into place.

City Scape Snowing is not about winter. It’s about soft erasure. About seeing the outline of something and letting the details blur — not out of loss, but to allow tenderness.

As part of the Out of Darkness Collection, this painting offers a breath — a visual snowfall that lets the noise of the world settle into silence, if only for a moment.
