Golden City
by Chong Kah Wah
About this piece
Inspired by the ancient city of Matera, Golden City captures the timeless atmosphere of a settlement carved into the landscape. Bathed in warm golden light, the clustered forms glow against the surrounding darkness, suggesting both history and quiet resilience. Rather than describing the architecture in detail, the painting focuses on mood and memory. Through expressive textures and strong contrasts of light and shadow, the city appears as a luminous presence—an enduring place where time, stone, and human stories merge.
