Notre-Dame de Nice in the Morning. 2024

This painting presents a whirlwind-like interpretation of the façade of Notre-Dame de Nice.
The artist transforms the familiar architectural structure into a fantastical spectacle, where intricate lines unravel like strips of fabric and seem to come alive — reflecting the eternal transformation of form and the deep connection between art and time.

At the center of the composition is the elaborate stained glass, reimagined with swirling saints enclosed in spirals, appearing to rotate around the façade.
This adds a sense of motion and layering, turning the church into a dynamic, dreamlike entity.

A key detail is the play on the element of time.
The numbers from the clocks located on the lower part of the façade appear to melt downward, merging into the church’s main gates.
This fluid effect highlights the idea of time dissolving into eternity and enhances the painting’s mysterious atmosphere.

In the foreground, interwoven lines evolve into doors and arches, giving the impression that the viewer could step directly into this world of fantasy.

The color palette is rich in shades of blue and turquoise, evoking the airy feel of Nice’s azure sky.
The façade, drawn in silvery-gray tones, contrasts with the vivid accents of the stained glass, adding depth and intensity.

This painting blends reality and imagination, inviting the viewer to reconsider familiar symbols and discover endless inspiration within them.
