Next to the city walls

This painting is about beauty of the ancient Egyptian building, which I wanted to be a panoramic view for an Egyptian Pharaonic scene First of all, the main idea of this artwork is based on open view from the top of an ancient Egyptian city, or as it is sometimes said a Pharaonic city, but I want to show it the way it appearance when it was built thousands of years ago. Let's start with the main hero in this work of art (contrary to what the reader might imagine) which is the perspective in the whole painting, Yes, there are some buildings in the front of the painting that seem to pay more attention to them than others, but this is one of the axioms that the perspective forces you to do, The closer the elements are to your eyes, the larger it becomes, and therefore it deserving more attention and highlighting its details, but I did not mean that all the focus should be on those buildings, The main idea is the perspective and how I built all these buildings on it, which draws your eyes to a single point within the artwork, There is a focal point for the artwork which is the statue at the forefront, but I did not want it to capture the heroism of the artwork as well, I also wanted the viewer’s eye to see a wall that defines the end of the city, because I did not want the houses to extend to the horizon line to become infinite miniatures small. Also I wanted the clouds to confirm the perspective with the way that I chose it to form, and as you may have noticed I chose for the clouds to stop at some point to show the sky as an outlet that I felt was necessary to the viewer eyes who might want to come out from under the clouds. I think that the hero's assistant in this artwork is the color, the colors of the buildings, I wanted that to be as close as possible to the ancient Egyptian pallet in order to carry the viewer's feelings of nostalgia for that ancient Egyptian spirit, which was distinguished by its own color One of the elements that I always think about whenever I start a new artwork that I must make a conscious and reasoned decision about it is : at any time the artwork is going on? I chose for this work to be in broad daylight so that I can highlight the different colors of the buildings As for the most prominent thing that I experienced while working on this painting and I consider it a remarkable development (because it was not planned at the beginning of the work) it is the four birds in the front of the painting and the reason for its existence, What I noticed while I am working is that the artwork is dominated by inaction, It is full of engineering buildings, which are of course inanimate, So what is the opposite of inaction? Exactly ... Action, and I couldn't find anything in this open panoramic view suitable more than birds to bring action, so I added them Finally, I hope you enjoyed the artwork
