In "Sky Garden," we ascend to an urban crest. The curvature of the building and the reflective glass create an almost futuristic vision of London. The image's perspective gives a sense of the city's rhythm and structure, while the cool color palette invokes the often overcast skies of the city, a stark canvas against the steel and glass of progress.
In the vein of Caravaggio's dramatic chiaroscuro, Guillamon's use of light and darkness is profound, creating a vivid contrast that draws the viewer into the depths of the scene. This technique, evident in his "Sky Garden" piece, mirrors the tenebrism that Caravaggio employed to bring a three-dimensional life to two-dimensional works, inviting a meditative gaze that the old masters would have appreciated.
