Eternity is part of my series VANTROPOLIS
I would like to invite you to escape into the future, to a place called Vantropolis.
Immerse yourself in my future vision of Vancouver, a clean, mindful and peaceful place on planet Earth.
I remember it was a rainy and dark night in April 2019. I was walking through the streets of the city of Vancouver and suddenly had an inspiration when I saw one of the modern buildings. It reminded me of a very old science fiction movie.
My imagination grew stronger and stronger, and I began to create the first image with the Vancouver skyline.
During my creative process, I was inspired by the 1927 German expressionist science fiction drama "Metropolis" by Fritz Lang.
