La Diagonal – Ciels urbains is a contemporary oil painting depicting La Diagonal in Barcelona, one of the city’s main avenues, beneath an expansive and luminous sky. The perspective of the road, traffic, and surrounding architecture guides the viewer through an urban landscape where the sky becomes the central subject.
The painting explores the contrast between the constant movement of the city and the atmospheric calm above it. Subtle transitions of blue, yellow, and grey shape the clouds, while the structured geometry of the avenue anchors the composition in everyday urban life.
Created by Virginie Martin-Blaise, this work reflects an ongoing exploration of Barcelona’s urban environments, where light, sky, and architecture interact to transform familiar city scenes into contemplative visual experiences.
