About the artwork

An illustrative photo of boating on the Seine in Paris on a colorful spring day.
Illustration of this photo paints a special feeling, an inner experience of Paris. Paris is known for romance and love, but more mature tones are also present in the photo. This also illustrates a more mature Paris with a heavy and fascinating history. Those old roofs of Palace of Justice are much more beautiful under a reddish sky than under a light blue sky. More imposing.
It arouses more of a sense of power and an experience that also carries with it a dark, powerful sense of history.
This photograph discovers another dimension. It is more than an ordinary, classical impression about Paris. It could be a Paris from the Renaissance period. An old and also a new Paris on Seine with lots of beautiful bridges.
Sailing was meaningful and I was impressed by all those bridges. Behind each special bridge, appeared a new one and each with a different story from history. Each time I experienced surprises.
Recently I have been thinking about this city. Each time I mention how this city is very beautiful when there is a little "gray weather". In that case, those impressive sights come more to the fore. Only then do they make an impression in the sign of power and strength. My idea originally came from that; all I wanted to do was come up with a new color for it. And I applied that to this picture.
