Artistic Description:

Metropolitan Kat is a bright, joyful portrayal of urban life seen through playful, geometric whimsy. A single, bold cat sits poised and confident in the middle of a stylized cityscape, surrounded by vibrant skyscrapers with mosaic-like windows and colored circles climbing vertical structures. The cat’s face, composed of perfect circles and vivid contrasts of yellow, red, blue, and green, gazes with gentle curiosity toward a butterfly fluttering nearby — a reminder of nature’s beauty in the midst of the city’s structure. The entire piece is illuminated with brilliant yellows and clear blues, evoking sunshine, movement, and metropolitan energy.

Personal Interpretation:

This piece captures that magical balance between urban sophistication and childlike wonder. The cat stands as a quiet observer of a bustling world, unbothered and serene. The butterfly symbolizes those fleeting, beautiful moments we might miss in a fast-paced city. Metropolitan Kat is both playful and reflective — a reminder to pause, take in life’s colorful details, and smile at the small surprises around us.
