Dublin Sound: The City as a Symphony
If you are looking to buy an original Dublin abstract painting that captures the rhythmic energy of the Irish capital, “Dublin Sound” is a premier choice. My name is Mykola Babiy, and I created this work to explore the intersection of urban life and melody. Specifically, I reimagined the city from an aerial perspective where the River Liffey becomes the resonating body of a massive musical instrument. Consequently, the water is no longer just a river, but a source of vibration and life. Furthermore, I painted the golden bridges to stretch across the water like luminous strings, with one vibrating to suggest a living tone.
In this original Dublin abstract painting, I invite you to “hear” the architecture through my use of gold paint and rhythmic textures. Specifically, I was inspired by the abstract compositions of Kandinsky and the surreal, elongated shadows of Dalí. Therefore, the work blends music, architecture, and emotion into a single visual symphony.
Mapping the Melody of Dublin Landmarks
Every original Dublin abstract painting I produce is designed to tell a story through geometric complexity. For instance, I used squares and shapes of varying sizes to represent the city’s iconic landmarks. Specifically, you can find the Spire, the GPO, the Four Courts, and Liberty House woven into the very structure of the instrument. Additionally, I included modern cultural anchors like the Aviva Stadium, Croke Park, and the Heineken building to ground the abstract shapes in reality.
Moreover, the use of Phoenix Park as a pocket of natural resonance adds a sense of balance to the urban grid. Because I used bold, layered colors, the city feels dynamic and expressive rather than static. As a result, the viewer experiences Dublin not just as a location on a map, but as a shared energy and a constant vibration.
