About the artwork

Blue Traffic is a bold, high‑energy London streetscape in Paco Raphael’s unmistakable mixed‑media language, where photographic clarity meets expressive colour and graphic layering. At the centre of the composition, St Paul’s Cathedral rises with architectural authority, anchoring the scene as the city’s movement unfolds around it. A classic red double‑decker bus cuts through the foreground, while pedestrians and street signage — including the distinctive London Street W1 marker — ground the work firmly in the capital’s urban rhythm.

Raphael’s interplay of realism and abstraction is amplified by splashes of vivid blue, yellow, orange and pink, creating a sense of motion, light and constant flux. Rendered on aluminium, the piece has a sleek, reflective surface that heightens contrast and luminosity, giving the colours a crisp, contemporary edge. The result is a dynamic, cinematic portrait of London: instantly recognisable, visually charged and perfectly suited as a statement centrepiece in any modern interior.
