A Vertical Eden (2025) #3

A mixed-media painting by UK artist Tim Willcox merging city and nature - an aerial dreamscape where architecture and environment coexist in colour.

A Vertical Eden grew out of my fascination with how cities swallow nature but also try to imitate it. This mixed-media abstract work combines urban and organic forms - buildings that blend into beaches, streets that become rivers of light. Layers of collage, paint, and oil pastel create depth and rhythm. I wanted it to feel dreamlike, like seeing the world from above, where nature and architecture start to share the same heartbeat.
