Heart of the City II is an atmospheric and beautifully observed limited edition artwork by internationally acclaimed Brazilian-born artist Henderson Cisz, renowned for his poetic interpretations of the world's most iconic cities. Based in London and celebrated for his ability to capture the mood and rhythm of urban life, Cisz has built a distinguished career portraying the places people love most - scenes rich with architecture, culture, and unforgettable memories.
In this striking street-level composition, Cisz transports viewers to the heart of London, where everyday life and heritage coexist in a bustling harmony. The instantly recognisable silhouette of Big Ben rises proudly in the distance, its clocktower cutting through a soft atmospheric haze, anchoring the scene in one of the world's most cherished capitals. Below, the lively street unfolds with unmistakable London character - black cabs weave along rain-washed roads, while bright red double-decker buses and traditional red telephone boxes provide vibrant bursts of colour. These iconic details ensure the painting resonates not only with London lovers but with anyone who appreciates the charm and energy of a city alive with history.
Cisz's distinctive technique - a sophisticated blend of impressionistic brushwork and refined palette - gives the piece a dynamic yet dream-like quality. Through subtle textures, soft edges, and expertly captured reflections, he conveys both movement and mood: crowds passing with purpose, vehicles navigating narrow streets, life flowing around landmarks that have stood the test of time. The artist's sensitivity to light and weather remains central to the emotional impact of the work, as gentle shifts in tone evoke the fleeting magic of a moment in the city.
This artwork is presented as a hand-embellished limited edition on canvas board, enhancing the depth and painterly essence of the original painting. Cisz's embellishments introduce delicate tactile detail, ensuring every piece in the edition feels uniquely enhanced by the artist's touch.
Measuring 12 x 19 inches (image size) and 20 x 27 inches framed, this is a perfectly scaled artwork that retains strong presence without overwhelming a space. The elegant modern brushed silver frame with a white inner slip adds a clean contemporary finish - beautifully complementing the urban palette and reflective surfaces depicted throughout the scene. Hand-signed and individually numbered within an edition of 195, each piece arrives with a certificate of authenticity, confirming its place within Cisz's highly sought-after body of work.
