Original artwork description:

I painted this piece on one of those rare days when Paris feels effortlessly alive. Not staged for tourists, not polished or grand — just real. I stood by the Seine, watching the way the light danced across the water, how the city moved in its quiet rhythm. And in that moment, I felt the urge to hold it — to trap that fleeting harmony on canvas.

What fascinates me about the Seine is how the rhythm of the river and the rhythm of the city weave together. The water flows, unhurried. Above it, people cross the bridge — some rushing, some pausing to look down. None of them know they've become part of my painting. They’re just passing through, and yet they leave their presence behind.

The barges, the boats, the arch of the old bridge — they all whisper stories of time. Not the time that hurries past us, but the kind that lingers. The water carries away reflections and noise, but the feeling remains. That’s what I tried to capture — not a postcard of Paris, but its breath, its atmosphere.

"Strolls Along the Seine" is not just a cityscape. It’s a portrait of a quiet moment — a dialogue between the river, the people, and me. My Paris: a little chaotic, a little dreamy, always beautiful in its everyday life.
