Reflections of Paris

About this painting

This work depicts the recognisable silhouette of Paris — the Eiffel Tower stands at the centre of the composition, reflected on the water surface. The architectural form is rendered in a restrained manner, without excessive detail, allowing the viewer to focus on the overall rhythm and the vertical element that balances the pictorial space.

The colour palette is built on a soft transition from warm yellow and greenish tones of the horizon to cooler blues in the sky and water. The reflection is painted with free, expressive brushstrokes that create a sense of movement and changeability, giving the scene a feeling of living breath.

The artwork conveys a calm, almost meditative mood. There is no urban bustle here — Paris appears as a space of silence and contemplation, where a familiar image becomes a reason for focused observation and an inner pause.

This painting invites the viewer not so much to recognise a place, but to sense the atmosphere — light, reflections and a state in which the city reveals itself through water and colour.
