NYC's Cityscapes Art on 1stDibs

NYC's cityscapes are illuminated through noted artist Vian Borchert's skyline paintings on "1stDibs" capturing the city's magical charm.

Noted contemporary artist Vian Borchert has a number of her NYC cityscapes original paintings currently available on " 1stDibs". The paintings depict Borchert's love for the NYC skyline executed in her signature expressionist painterly style. Borchert states "my artistic vision is one of hope and big dreams for the future. My artwork reflects my dreams and inspirations. In my abstracted architectural cityscapes, there is an emphasis on tall buildings and looking up. Thus, the cityscapes are a celebration of tall landmarks not only to present their beauty through a poetic and an artistic touch, but to also stress on the importance of staying hopeful and dreaming big. In my cityscapes, I highlight my love for the NYC skyline. An architect at heart, I build a visual painterly cityscape that embodies the essence of a city where the painting becomes a vehicle that transports me to dreamscapes."

A good number of Borchert's quintessential and abstracted paintings are on "1stDibs" with representation by Maggio Art London - see link:
