Paris Café X (La Rotonde)

I rarely paint portraits or still lifes or animals.  As you see, my large body of work consists of streetscapes and that’s undeniably my favorite subject.  My creativity gets inspired when I am in a place where I feel the energy of its city life, the weight of its rich history or a sense of belonging.  I especially find beauty in what would be very ordinary in people’s daily lives.

In Paris, cafés are practically everywhere and have been an important part of people's lives for decades.  Shown here in "Paris Café X" is La Rotonde, one of the historic cafés in the Montparnasse neighborhood.

Paris Café is a series of mainly small-sized paintings that I started this year.  I would like to invite my viewers to (vicariously, of course) sit outside, order un café, and relax while watching the world go by, so you will be saying as my collector who purchased one from this series, “it makes me want to be there!”

This series continues as long as my passion keeps me going…  Please visit my Paris Cafe Collection to see more paintings.
