Concrete Jungles

Scenery used to play a secondary role on the canvas, serving as a backdrop for portraits and various storylines. Over time, the landscape became a genre in its own right, reproducing the atmosphere and rhythm of everyday life. This series tells us about moments recorded by the artist at different times and under other circumstances. He can observe a couple in love who notice nothing around them or draw our attention to the last visitor in a cafe, whose silhouette is visible through the window.
