Original artwork description:

"Paris Purple Night" is a textural impressionist stylized cityscape impasto palette knife oil painting on stretched canvas 20 X 20 cm (8 x 8 inches).

This painting captures a night view of Paris rooftops and the Tour Eiffel profiled on a full moon sky.
I often travel to Paris and I always find there my inspiration. It has a special magic for me and I hope you can feel it through my paintings...

The painting was realized in impasto technique, with heavy textures of oil paint applied with a diversity of palette knives.

I have always loved to approach my urban paintings in a myriad of ways. I enjoy stylizing architectural forms in various manners. This has always been one of my goals, even a preoccupation from the time I was studying at the school of architecture until the present. The versatility of oil paint along with my prototypic work with palette knives allows me to play with the urban forms abstracting the city in an unconstrained manner.

canvas, oil paint, palette knives
