Reflections of Paris

About this painting

This work depicts the recognisable silhouette of Paris — the Eiffel Tower appears at the centre of the composition, reflected in the water’s surface. The architectural form is presented concisely, without excessive detailing, allowing focus on the overall rhythm and the vertical axis that balances the space of the canvas.

The colour scheme is built on a gentle transition from the warm yellow and greenish tone of the horizon to cool blue and azure shades in the sky and water. The reflection in the water is painted with free expressive brushstrokes that create a sense of movement and transience, giving the scene a living breath.

The work 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 a focused gaze and an inner pause.

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