Midday at theMetropole.

Manifesto / Description

This vibrant marker illustration captures the lively atmosphere of a contemporary Indian café. The composition is defined by geometric floor tiling and large industrial-style windows that flood the space with natural light, casting rhythmic shadows across the room. Patrons are depicted in candid moments—a woman working on a tablet, a couple in conversation, and friends waiting at the counter—while a barista prepares orders in the background. The interior is decorated with indoor palms and modern interpretations of traditional art on the walls. The artist uses a warm, earth-toned palette with pops of teal and orange, utilizing precise fineliner work to define the intricate patterns of the upholstery and the architectural details of the space.
