Sunrise Over Cap Ferrat: Classic Matte Paper Poster

$20.00
Size

Sunrise over Cap Ferrat is an art print reproduced from Alex Nereuta's original mixed media painting and collage on canvas. Inspired by Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera, this contemporary artwork captures the quiet beauty of dawn as a vibrant orange-red sun rises above the azure blue Mediterranean Sea. Graphic reflections dance across the water while the peninsula's iconic lighthouse and simplified coastline create a bold interpretation of one of the Côte d'Azur's most celebrated landscapes.

Blending painting and collage, Alex distills the landscape into its essential colours, light and geometry, transforming a familiar coastline into a striking graphic composition. Reproduced from the original artwork, this art print preserves the vibrant colour palette, layered textures and contemporary aesthetic that define her artistic practice.

Perfect for collectors of French Riviera art, Nice art, Mediterranean art, coastal artwork, sunrise art, contemporary landscape prints and art inspired by the Côte d'Azur.

Creative Process

This artwork grew out of countless early mornings spent in movement, watching the sun rising over Nice and Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat. During the summer, I swim almost every day at sunrise, while in winter I often rollerblade along the Promenade des Anglais as the first light reaches the Mediterranean. Watching the changing light reflections dance across the water has become my quiet ritual, and I'm endlessly fascinated by the way the light shifts from one morning to the next - never the same, and always mesmerizing.

I began this painting on the beach in Nice at sunrise using acrylic and oil paint on canvas, immersed in the colours and atmosphere of the moment. Back in the studio, I continued the process by finalizing the canvas painting, then hand-painting the reflections on paper, cutting them by hand, and collaging them onto the canvas. These graphic fragments echo the shimmering movement of light across the sea, allowing lived experience, memory and observation to come together in the final composition.
