Artist becomes the pedestrian to paint the street corners and sidewalks of New York City

Creating stunning oil paintings of the urban landscape from a pedestrian's perspective, he likes to choose different times of the day – particularly dusk and dawn – to play with the light, and show different sides to the city that never sleeps. Using playful brushstrokes and a burst of colour, you can really picture yourself being there, immersed in the city with all its noise and smells – making you want to be there in the flesh.

Of course, García doesn't just paint in New York; he's visited cities across the world to paint, including London, Barcelona and Rome. Check out his stunning work at www.cristobalperezgarcia.com and watch the video below, Traffic, to enjoy a glimpse of the artist in action.
