Battersea Power Station

This work marks the beginning of my architectural series. Based on London’s iconic Battersea Power Station, the piece was created from a photograph taken from below, where the building’s monumental chimneys rise into the sky.
Through deconstruction and recomposition, the familiar industrial landmark is transformed into a study of volumes, planes, and perspective. The chimneys are sectioned vertically, breaking their surfaces into rhythmic bands that amplify their height and presence. The massive brick forms of the station are fractured into sharp facets of brown, red ochre, and black, set against the stark white towers and a muted grey sky.
In this reinterpretation, the Power Station is no longer just a building, but an abstraction of strength and rhythm. Perspective becomes the driving force: lines converge upward, carrying the viewer’s gaze beyond the canvas, evoking both the weight of architecture and the infinity of space.
