About the artwork

This painting takes you on a quiet evening stroll that might just take you through the streets of Kyoto. A woman in a green kimono walks with her back to us, sheltered by a light, traditional parasol. Small raindrops fall gently and light up in the warm glow of the lanterns beaming out through the windows. The contrast between the cool blue and grey of the rainy street and the warm gold of the light makes this work particularly atmospheric.

What stands out are the subtle details: the texture of the wet cobbles reflecting the light, the folds in the kimono that seem almost tangible, and the soft glow that gives the scene an intimate, almost cinematic feel. The colours are subdued and harmonious: dark green, deep blue and warm yellow tones alternate, creating a perfect balance between cool and warm.

The atmosphere is calm, poetic and a touch melancholic. The painting evokes a sense of stillness: as if time stands still for a moment and you are invited to wander along this street in your thoughts. For a buyer, this work may evoke memories of travelling through Japan, a fascination with other cultures, or simply a love of moments of peace and reflection.

My love of travelling and exploring other cultures inspired me to create this painting. Using AI, I created this image to make that unique atmosphere tangible.
