THE STORY


City Nights began with a walk through the streets of Paris.

As I wandered through the city, I came across places where generations of artists had painted the same streets, cafés, façades, and evening scenes. At first, I wondered what kept bringing so many artists back to the same subject.

Then, as I continued walking, I began to understand.

Paris has a particular atmosphere that changes the way an ordinary street feels. After the rain, the pavement reflects the warm lights of cafés and windows, people move through the streets, and familiar places become almost cinematic.

City Nights grew from that realization — from seeing Paris not simply as a city, but as a place that naturally asks to be painted.
