Tompsett uses digital watercolor techniques to distill the dense architecture of Paris into a singular, horizontal rhythm. By focusing on the silhouettes of landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the work moves beyond a literal map to explore how we recognize a city through its most famous shapes. The edges of the buildings bleed into the white space, creating a sense of light and weather that feels specific to the Parisian environment.

The composition balances the precision of architectural drafting with the unpredictability of watercolor. This approach emphasizes the collective memory of the city, presenting a skyline that feels both grounded in geography and lightened by an expressive, painterly touch.
