There are times when living in a big city feels just as dramatic and brutal as the Urbanscapes oil painting series by Valerio D'Ospina. The Pennsylvania based painter uses grayscale colors and linear brushstrokes to picture blurry and dramatic scenes from the city: aerial views, buildings, trains, cars and ships.
