She walks. Simply walks through the wet Parisian air, under a bright red umbrella that is like a little sun on a gray day. A white coat, black tights, a thin red bag strap — and that umbrella, which almost shouts: “Look how beautiful it is to be alive!”
The Eiffel Tower is barely outlined in pencil — light, airy, as if dissolving in mist. It is not the main thing. The main thing is this back, this step, this feeling of freedom. As if all of Paris right now is only for her: the rain, the stone of the pavement, the smell of coffee somewhere nearby, and the light heartbeat from being here, in this city, in this moment.
The painting is very quiet and very loud at the same time. Quiet — because we see only her back. Loud — because this red umbrella is impossible not to feel. It is about the courage to be bright. About the fact that even on the grayest day you can take a piece of the sun with you.
The work on kraft paper adds warmth and intimacy — like a page from a personal travel diary that you want to leaf through again and again.
