Petit Pont

oil on canvas, September – November 2024
Picture of a painting cafe Petit Pont in Paris. September afternoon vibes. Warm colors: people visible in the cafe talking and drinking.

Paris is full of cafes. And restaurants. And bars.

And so it’s full of life. 

There’s a thing about Paris that I think is very interesting. Is that, some people will think it’s too romanticed. Others will find beauty in every corner (and by every corner they’re gonna mean the 5th, or 6th).

But there’s something we’re all gonna agree on: there is not another city in the world like Paris. 

But there is also not another city like Rome. Or London. Or Barcelona. Or Berlin. Or New York. Or Warsaw. It’s because very city got their own qualities, their own little perks and disadvantages. 

The thing is, we are the ones who choose to see the beauty or ugliness. If we want to appreciate it or hate it. If we want to find a reason to love it, or a reason to run away from it. 

The magic is in you as well. 

This is the beginning of my City series. I’m not gonna paint every city I listed up here. But I am gonna paint the streets of cities that have made me feel something. 

And perhaps, they’ll make you fell something as well?
