recurring themes and artistic strategies that illustrate the relationship between river and the
urban environment. Beyond its contribution to the art realm, this study sheds light on the vital
role of river in urban life, expressing it through visual artworks like paintings. Ultimately, it
results in paintings that vividly portray river, symbolizing life and the urban environment,
thereby enhancing the aesthetic appreciation of our society and bridging the gap between art
