About the artwork

''Champs elysees ,Arc de triomphe Paris at dusk'' Painting depicts the avenue des Champs-Élysées at dusk with Arc de Triomphe in the background, recognized as a symbol of Parisian pomp and elegance. The Champs Elysees is one of the most famous avenues in the world, 70 meters wide, commissioned in 1667 by Louis XIV, the King of Versailles, in the perspective of the Louvre Palace and the adjacent Tuileries gardens, it runs for 1910 meters in a straight line up hill from Place de la Concorde, to arc de Triomphe, erected by the Emperor Napoleon in 1806 to commemorate France's military prowess, the 50 meter tall arch crowns the west end of the avenue .Champs-Élysées according to Parisians is “la plus belle avenue du monde” . ....I am constantly looking for the emotion, expression, movement, harmony and the ''moment character'' in a painting . Achieving the fine balance between these components is the challenge….. A painting with its own unique personality.The style of painting is impressionistic, integrating expressionism , combined with realistic subject. The painterly translation suggests rather than define the subject, using just enough hard edges to bring the viewer into the painting, employing soft and lost edges in the process without killing the imagination…. it is an invitation to become a part of what the painting is all about. read more
