Original artwork description
I wanted to capture a warm, fleeting moment I experienced in Paris—sitting in a quiet café as dusk settled over the city. Through the window, the Eiffel Tower glows in the soft golden light of evening, while the figures on the street blur into a dreamlike haze. I used loose, expressive brushstrokes and a muted palette for the background to create that sense of misty, fading light.
Inside the café, I brought the scene into sharper focus. The steaming cups of coffee, delicate cupcakes, and flickering candles are painted with more defined strokes, drawing the viewer into the intimate foreground. The contrast between the cozy warmth inside and the fading chill outside is key to the painting’s emotional rhythm. I used a wet-on-wet oil technique to let the colors blend naturally, emphasizing the glowing sources of light and soft transitions.
