"Metropolis in Gold" is a striking vertical, abstract composition that draws the viewer in with its meticulously arranged geometric shapes and vivid contrasts. Measuring 24 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 2 inches deep, this artwork is set against a radiant gold-colored background that instantly captures attention.

At the top of the composition, a cluster of small, interconnected geometric forms sets the stage, seamlessly transitioning into a centrally positioned square area. This square features a harmonious blend of muted colors, alongside various geometric elements with differing hues and dimensions, adding layers of complexity and intrigue. Below this focal point, elongated and interconnected linear shapes cascade down the length of the piece, guiding the eye towards a trio of circular cut-outs near the lower section, which provide an unexpected but delightful element of surprise.
Inspired by abstract cityscapes, this artwork beautifully translates urban complexity into a modern, abstract aesthetic. The emphasis on geometric organization and contrasting colors reflects a sophisticated approach to design, while the built-up layers of colored glass add tactile interest.
