Market Day, Cours Saleya | Framed Art PrintMarket Day, Cours Saleya | Nice Art Print

Inspired by the famous Cours Saleya market in the heart of Old Nice, Market Day, Cours Saleya is a colourful art print capturing the atmosphere of a Mediterranean morning on the French Riviera. Overflowing fruit stands, flowers, blue-and-white striped awnings and figures wandering through the market come together in a sun-filled scene inspired by everyday life in the South of France.

Created from countless visits to Cours Saleya throughout the seasons, the artwork brings together the details that stayed with me most: vibrant market produce, elegant boutiques, striped canopies and people moving through the market at an unhurried pace. Rather than depicting one specific moment, I reassembled these familiar fragments through memory to capture the colour, energy and effortless rhythm of life on the Côte d’Azur.

Reproduced from my original painting, this Nice art print combines bold graphic forms, painterly textures and a vibrant palette of citrus yellow, golden ochre, turquoise, Mediterranean blue and warm red. From a distance, the composition becomes an almost abstract rhythm of stripes, colour and geometric forms; up close, the figures and details of the market reveal themselves.

A modern alternative to traditional French Riviera posters and travel photography, this contemporary wall art celebrates Nice, Cours Saleya, the Mediterranean and the South of France through colour, observation and lived experience. Displayed alone or alongside its companion artwork, Apéro, Cours Saleya, it brings the warmth, colour and relaxed spirit of the Côte d’Azur into a space.

Inspirations

This painting was inspired by my frequent weekly visits, runs and plant stops through Cours Saleya market in the heart of the Old Town of Nice, France - I'm obsessed with the bright colours, stripes, fresh produce, and the graphic shapes everywhere you turn. In this painting I wanted to bring together many of the striking elements that I love in one composition that is filled to the brim with bright colours, organic shapes and good vibes.

Creative Process

I run through Cours Saleya market in the early morning, and find myself there a few times a month shopping for flowers and plants for my little urban garden. Often distracted and inspired by the vivid colours of fresh local produce, fruit, food, flowers, and the striped market stalls contrasting against the sun-lit building façades of Vieux Nice, I take too many photos for my icloud storage. I composed this market scene from photos, memories and sketches. I first drew the re-imagined, reconstructed composition on canvas with charcoal, and then painted in acrylic, oil pastels and markers, adding layers upon layers of colour, highlights and contrast for the final painting on canvas.
