Between Stops

Between Stops is a vivid and dynamic watercolor painting that captures the essence of Lisbon’s energy and charm. It portrays a famous, steep street where a graffiti-covered tram climbs its way uphill, surrounded by the city’s iconic architecture. The buildings, painted in their authentic hues, line both sides of the road, complete with balconies and street signs that add to the piece’s unmistakable sense of place. People stroll downhill, their movement bringing life to the scene, while in the distance, the ocean glistens—a breathtaking contrast to the urban vibrancy.

The painting is alive with color, with pigments bleeding and dripping in places, giving it a sense of motion and spontaneity, much like the ever-changing rhythm of the city itself. The layering of watercolor adds remarkable depth, making every element—from the worn facades of the buildings to the playful graffiti on the tram—feel immersive and real. Between Stops is more than a cityscape; it’s a love letter to Lisbon, capturing its beauty, energy, and the fleeting moments that make it unforgettable.
