I did this work based on a sketch which was on the wall of my hotel room in Cairo. I am attaching the original.
Medium: This appears to be a digital painting, emulating a loose, sketchy watercolor and ink style.
Shapes and objects: An architectural structure with arches and ornate details. Small figures of people in the foreground. Hints of buildings or market stalls on the sides.
Colors: Primarily brown and beige for the architecture. Blue for the sky. Small accents of other colors for details and figures.
Narrative: This piece captures the bustling atmosphere of a historic city or marketplace. The loose, sketchy style gives a sense of movement and life to the scene. The grand architecture looms over the small figures, emphasizing the scale and history of the place. This artwork might represent the artist's travels, the timeless nature of historic architecture, or the way human activity continues to flow through ancient spaces.
Original Artist: This piece seems inspired by the urban sketches of artists like James Richards or Suhita Shirodkar, who are known for their quick, expressive renderings of cityscapes and architecture. The loose, gestural style combined with architectural detail also recalls some of John Singer Sargent's watercolor sketches of Venice.
