    Inspirations

    This large black and white wall art on canvas 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 conveys a sense of elegance and carefree Riviera escapism...while maintaining a sense of elusive mystery that leaves space for the viewer's imagination in this beautiful Mediterranean setting.

    Creative Process

    This seaside canvas art print was originally created by hand, in various fine art and illustration mediums. I first began by sketching in pencil and paper, experimenting with 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 the silhouettes and painted a thin layer of watercolour for the background shading. Once I finalized the landscape and figure placement and base coat, I used a series of graphic markers to create layers of textures, shading, contrasts, highlights and details, bringing a realistic dimensionality to the artwork, while also keeping a modern edge in terms of the
    graphic use of lines and tonality. After photographing the final 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.
