Gouache on cardboard

Signed on the front.

As an artist, I find inspiration in the beauty of nature and the profound emotions it evokes. The story behind this particular artwork begins during one of my plein air sessions, where I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the serenity of a riverside setting. While capturing the essence of the scene, my gaze was drawn to a charming small pavilion nestled alongside the riverbank. Its presence added a touch of tranquility and a sense of contemplation to the surrounding landscape.

The sight of the small pavilion, embraced by the gentle flow of the river, became the focal point of my artistic expression. It symbolized a sanctuary, a place where one could seek solace and find respite from the chaos of the world. The interplay between the pavilion, the flowing river, and the surrounding natural elements inspired me to capture the harmony and serenity of this scene on canvas.

This artwork holds the power to elevate a room in multiple ways. It brings the beauty of the outdoors inside, infusing the space with a sense of calm and connection to nature. The depiction of the small pavilion and the meandering river can transport viewers to a peaceful and reflective state of mind. It serves as a visual escape, allowing individuals to momentarily leave behind their daily concerns and immerse themselves in the beauty of the natural world.
