"City Types (City Grimaces)" is a vivid cityscape showcasing exaggerated urban figures with a surreal, almost whimsical quality, reminiscent of Surrealism. Created using watercolor and gouache on Paper, the artwork blends flowing, organic forms with hints of Art nouveau (modern) style. The composition captures the diverse personalities and moods of city inhabitants, rendering their faces into exaggerated, grimace-like expressions that symbolize the urban life's chaos and vibrancy.
