Inspirations

This Mediterranean wall art is a culmination of my many trips on the French and Italian Rivieras, my love of timeless elegance, and devouring vintage photographs, postcards and fashion magazines in book markets in Paris, Nice and the South of France. The Côte d'Azur has such a rich history of fascinating, talented and glamorous women who lived, visited, created and relaxed here - from Coco Chanel, Brigitte Bardot to Dalida. I wanted to create an artwork that encapsulates this sense of French Riviera cultural history, pays homage to the iconic women who contributed to its glamour, and also convey a sense of elegance and carefree escapism...while maintaining a sense of elusive mystery that leaves space for the viewer's imagination in this beautiful Mediterranean setting.

Creative Process

This square artwork on canvas print was originally created in multiple phases and mediums. I first began by sketching in pencil and paper many versions of the drawing, until I was happy with the overall composition.

Then I moved on to very large textured paper: using charcoal and pencil, I hand drew the under drawing, and painted a thin layer of watercolour for the background shading.

Once I finalized the landscape and figures composition, I used a series of graphic markers to draw in layers, adding textures, contrasts, highlights and details, bringing a realistic dimensionality to the art, while also keeping a modern edge in terms of the graphic use of lines and tonality. After photographing the final original artwork,
I used digital editing software to fine tune and perfect the details, enhance contrasts and highlights to ensure that the original quality would translate beautifully on this canvas art print.
