The Luminous City

Artist Name: Maha Shahbaz

About Artist:

I am Maha Shahbaz, a thirteen-year-old with a passion for arts. I enjoy painting, sketching, and exploring different experiences. I find inspiration in everyday things and love experimenting with new styles and techniques. Whether it’s a simple sketch or a detailed one, I enjoy the process even if it doesn’t go well.

Artist Statement:
My drawing shows a dreamy city at night with tall, Gothic-style buildings in warm golden light. The empty street, lined with old-fashioned lamps, reflects, giving a peaceful, mystical feel. The swirling sky and glowing orbs were inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and the way light stands out in the darkness. My love for Gothic architecture is endless, so I combined both to create a fantasy-like city that feels warm, dreamy, and a little mystical.
