This work was initiated by digitising an original Manhattan cityscape painting in mixed media on sheet aluminium. The ubiquitous amber tones of New York City taxis flow through the rippling surface of the rain soaked streets, mirroring the fierce movement and activity of the infamous metropolis with almost hypnotic effect.

To create this New York Cityscape piece, the physical painting was digitised with a Leica M (Type 240) camera, paired with a Leica Summilux-M 1:1.4/35 lens for superlative colour depth and image quality. Composited images were then enhanced and expanded upon, along with the introduction of multiple digitally hand drawn embellishments and fractal noise displacement animations. All elements are interwoven into the scene to create the final NFT.
