Painting description

Total size, including frame: 30×30 cm. The top of the Eiffel Tower stands out against the colorful sky like a memory that suddenly came to life and decided to come for a walk. And she—just like that—stopped for a moment, as if reading something she'd known for a long time, yet it surprised her again. A subtle smile, a beret the color of a red berry, black curls softly obscuring the world. This is Paris not in a guidebook, but in the heart—captured in a short, painterly narrative. The painting was created using impasto technique with oil paints, applied primarily with a palette knife. The rich texture creates varied, convex surfaces that react to light, changing the character of the scene at different times of day. The red beret has a thick and pulsating texture, giving it intensity, while the background is composed of softer layers—allowing the subject's silhouette to emerge towards the viewer. The contrast of navy blue and white in the striped blouse creates a rhythm that balances the patchwork of colors in the lower part of the painting. Geometric color fields are consciously constructed from individual impasto patterns, resembling a mosaic of street tiles while simultaneously building optical depth in the composition.
