Original artwork description:

I wanted to capture a quiet, romantic moment—a fleeting breath of evening in Paris. The Eiffel Tower, softly aglow in the distance, stands as the city’s timeless beacon. In the foreground, an open book, flickering candles, and a bouquet of fresh flowers create a sense of warmth and intimacy, like a silent love letter waiting to be read.

In terms of technique, I used the wet-on-wet method with oil paints to allow the evening light and colors to blend naturally. I softened the details in the distance to evoke a dreamy atmosphere, while using thicker, expressive brushstrokes in the foreground to bring the candlelight and flowers to life. The piece relies on a balance of cool blues and greys contrasted with warm golden tones, enhancing the feeling of serenity and romantic nostalgia that Paris evenings so often inspire.
