A layered view of downtown Des Moines, East of the River captures the city’s skyline as seen from the lush banks beyond the bridge. Nick Proykov’s impressionistic brushwork blends architectural rhythm with natural texture, creating a composition that feels both grounded and atmospheric. The pastel sky suggests early light or fading dusk—moments when the city softens and the landscape speaks.
