Gargoyle in the Office Lobby: An Oil Painting

A dramatic oil painting of a stone gargoyle perched on a carved ledge inside a sleek corporate lobby. The gargoyle, weathered gray with a mossy patina, crouches above a marble floor as glass walls, chrome elevators, and potted palms recede into the background. Sunlight filters through a skylight, casting long shadows and gilding the gargoyle with warm ochre and emerald highlights. Thick brushstrokes and visible impasto convey texture in the statue and the modern interior, blending Gothic fantasy with contemporary architecture in a moody, cinematic composition.
