City idea

My idea for a city based on Gustav Klimt's work is a feminine, decadent city based around the Vienna area and with some Japanese influences? (As Klimt is influenced by Japanese art)
Mosaic like brickwork?
It looks inviting but has a dark underbelly, because the way Klimt paints women makes them have an almost supernatural quality to them, especially with their beauty.
I was thinking of having a scene in which you can see the big beautiful side with gold and with the swirling patterns from his work, but then having something like a side street that shows the darker side and trying to use different lighting to show this.
