Rue Mouffetard 8F (45.5 x 38cm) Written by Yukihiko Hama

¥220,000

This oil painting depicts a bustling city area, with detailed depictions of building facades, signboards, and the people and food stalls on the streets.

The palette mainly uses warm colors, thereby creating a soft atmosphere. The streets are vibrant and you can feel the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Through this work, the artist skillfully captures the contrast between the hustle and bustle of life and the silence in the cityscape.

The texture of the oil paintings gives the viewer a sense of the walls of buildings that cannot be touched, and the works share the artist's artistic perspective.
