The Line, NEOM
The story behind this piece
The Line, NEOM is a digital painting that depicts the proposed linear city of The Line as two parallel mirrored walls stretching across a desert landscape at dusk. The composition is vertical in format, with the mirrored facades catching the last light and dissolving into the horizon, framed by low desert ridges and a warm sky of orange, peach, and blue. An AI-assisted digital artwork created as a unique edition for collectors, and as inspiration for digital artists shaping their next piece.
The Line is the centerpiece of NEOM, a planned megaproject in the Tabuk province of northwestern Saudi Arabia, announced in January 2021 as part of the country's Vision 2030. As designed, it is a linear city 170 kilometers long and 200 meters wide, with two parallel mirrored walls rising 500 meters, intended to house around nine million people with no cars and high-speed transit running beneath the full length of the city. NEOM's name combines the Greek word neos, meaning "new," with the first letter of the Arabic word mustaqbal, meaning "future." The project is planned to run entirely on renewable energy.
