City of Gold

"City of Gold" by Martin Osner is a breathtaking abstract impressionistic artwork that captures the grandeur of a magnificent city and its shimmering reflection in the water below. Using soft, warm tones as the foundation, Osner creates a serene and ethereal atmosphere. The painting is crafted with a palette knife, brush, and sponge, adding texture and complexity to the composition. Stronger hues of orange and turquoise highlight the city’s towering buildings, while accents of gold and a radiant golden wash bring the scene to life. The golden tones evoke imagery from the Bible's description of heaven, where streets are said to be paved with gold, giving the city a celestial and dreamlike quality. This piece beautifully merges the divine with the earthly, resulting in a mesmerising, almost spiritual vision of urban majesty.
