THE WORK
“Afternoon at Café de la Paix” is an afternoon scene in a Parisian café of the golden age, where a young woman sits beside the window with a feathered hat and veil. The black lace dress, long gloves, and the pink rose on the bodice convey understated elegance, while the cigarette between her fingers adds a touch of worldliness.

Beyond the glass, the city opens to a view of stone rooftops, trees, and the Eiffel Tower rising in the clear late-afternoon sky. On the marble table, a porcelain cup, a silver sugar shaker, and a crystal vase with a rose complete the composition.

The palette, built on deep black, gold, and pale pink, evokes the warm light of late 19th-century genre paintings, with the black of the dress guiding the gaze.

ARTIST’S WORDS
“With ‘Afternoon at Café de la Paix’ I wanted to tell a suspended moment between two eras, when Paris was the center of taste and a café could become an open-air salon. The woman looks elsewhere, as if the afternoon belongs to her alone. I chose to work with the golden light entering from the window, because light is what unites the black of the dress with the gold of the furnishings. The greatest challenge was making the richness of the fabrics coexist with the lightness of the landscape in the background, without one overpowering the other. I chose 100% cotton canvas because its soft weave renders velvets and laces with a depth that paper wouldn’t have. I hope this canvas brings the atmosphere of a Parisian afternoon into interiors.”
