The Edinburgh Collection: 20 Abstract Paintings Capture the Charm of Edinburgh

In the heart of Edinburgh, where the ancient echoes of history harmonize with the whispers of modernity, the inspiration for my latest collection took root.

A Palette of Centuries

Built over centuries, Edinburgh stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of time. Defended by a fortress-castle atop an ancient volcano, this city has been strolled by writers, poets, and travelers who found inspiration in its winding streets and inviting closes. At first glance, the sandstone facades may seem uniform, a seamless canvas of beige. Yet, the more you explore, the more you take the time to look, the more varied hues you start to notice.

Old World Charm Meets Modern Creativity

Enter "The Edinburgh Collection," where each piece is a symphony of color and texture, a fusion of old-world charm and modern creativity. Antique frames expand the artwork beyond the canvas, embracing the spirit of Edinburgh itself—where history is not a relic but a living, breathing presence. These frames, like the city's ancient architecture, are a testament to old world charm and timelessness.
