Summer Evening on Rue Cler. (2026) Original Oil Painting by Alexandr Klemens

There is something timeless about a Paris café at the end of the day.

People gather almost without thinking, drawn by light, conversation, and the simple pleasure of sitting outside for a while. I wasn't interested in telling a story about specific people. What fascinated me was the atmosphere created by architecture, warm interior light, and the rhythm of everyday life.

The figures become part of the city itself, while the café glows like a temporary refuge within the movement of the street.

This painting is part of my ongoing Paris Café Series, exploring light as a force that brings people together and transforms ordinary places into spaces of memory.
