Rue Mouffetard 6F (41 x 31.8cm) Written by Yukihiko Hama
This work is an oil painting that captures a typical Parisian streetscape.
The paintings use warm colors to express the textures of old buildings and the bustle of streets lined with food stalls and cafes.
The screen uses layers of different colors to evoke the unique atmosphere of Paris. Scenes of squares and streets where people gather convey a sense of urban life and give the viewer a sense of the history and culture of the place.
This painting has the charm of letting you experience everyday life in Paris.
