Tompsett uses the watercolor medium to soften the hard edges of Berlin’s architectural identity. By layering translucent pigments, he creates a sense of depth and movement within the skyline, allowing the city's most recognizable landmarks to bleed into one another. The composition balances the density of the urban core with the lightness of the paper, suggesting a city that is as much a memory or a dream as it is a physical place.

The focus here is on the interplay between diverse building structures, from the sleek lines of modern towers to the ornate silhouettes of historic monument corners. This landscape orientation provides a wide-angle view of the city’s narrative, capturing the evolving urban cityscape through a palette that feels both organic and intentional. It is a geographic representation that prioritizes the emotional texture of travel and the power of imagination over literal precision.
