Last stop of this journey: New York City. In the middle of Manhattan, surrounded by noise, crowd, lights... It's a sensory explosion that can be overwhelming, but somehow I can still enjoy it. From quiet places where I can have conversations with myself, to places where there's no room to think and you can only keep moving with the flow of the other people around you.
Despite all the surrounding chaos, there is still room for admiration of what we have managed to build as a civilization. However we choose to see it, it is our present and our reality, and in some way, it can be appreciated. As the same Chase and Samy are there walking on these streets, in front of the impressive Grand Central Station, and in the background one of my favorite skyscrapers: the Chrysler building
What a good way to finish this journey, that started in a very quiet place and end up in pure chaos. There are two opposites that can coexist on the same trip with no problems. I'm truly grateful to have been experienced such months in my life, and this couldn't have been possible if I hadn't taken these commissions that helped funded this series of watercolor studies.
Tomorrow I'll share an edition with some videos I took of how my sketchbook was looking. It is a very simple video, I didn't want to go in "Influencer Mode" filming everything I was doing, showing my process and such, there are many times I tend to do those kind of things but this specific trip I wanted to just be there and follow the flow, painting whenever I felt like doing it, only on those spots that were really inspiring me.
