New Mixed Media Art Collection: Ode to New York City

by Rekha Krishnamurthi November 23, 2025

I'm excited to share my latest mixed media art collection!

Collection Overview

Ode to New York City is a mini-collection of five original mixed media collages on canvas (11x14 inches each), created with layers of hand-painted papers and photographic transfers. Each piece weaves together the city’s grit and glamour, capturing the rhythm, color, and texture of New York through my eyes as an artist.

Artist Statement

For the past 20 years, New York has been more than a place - it's been home, muse, and teacher. Since 2004, I've lived and worked in the NYC metro area, shaping both my personal journey and my creative identity. With Ode to New York City, I'm honoring those memories: long walks through city streets, bustling subway rides, stunning skyline views that never cease to amaze me and the quiet refuge of parks where green spaces invite reflection and renewal.

Each piece is priced at $250 and featured below in order:

Ode to New York City - Skyline Up Close
Ode to New York City - Skyline
Ode to New York City - Hustle and Bustle Times Square
