LES ARTS ILLUSTRATION - ANDREEA

See that curve? Not just anyone could invent that. The Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía has been the architectural pride of Valencia for decades—the work of Santiago Calatrava, that man who seems to invent the laws of physics when he draws—and Andreea Constantinescu has captured it in one of those sunsets where the city turns equal parts purple and orange.

In the foreground, daily life: someone walking their Dalmatian, another pulling a suitcase. Valencia being Valencia. The palette, between deep mauve and warm terracotta, makes this print a piece that won't go unnoticed on any wall. Not in a modern living room, nor in a studio, nor as a gift for someone who needs to return to this city—or who should never have left.
