Description artwork

This painting depicts an everyday scene in Aix-en-Provence, in a lively street that I particularly like. I chose to paint the café "Le Grillon", an emblematic place for me. I like to sit there drinking a coffee, reading my newspaper and simply observing the life that goes on around me. This café has a real history, a soul, and I wanted to convey it through this painting.

I used both brush and knife to render the light, the warmth of the facades, the details of the scene and the lively atmosphere. There are red umbrellas, people at tables, a small fountain, a bicycle leaning against a tree, and a little girl crossing the square. All this creates a joyful, authentic atmosphere, like a pause in time. I wanted to share this simple but precious moment through my painting.

Arkady
Arkady flag_frFrance
Having always been attracted by creation, Arkady began producing his first self-taught works from 2009 onwards. In parallel, the young painter carried out many work placements with confirmed artists in France and Moldova, with the intention of learning the rudiments of this discipline and perfecting his technique. He would also become the assistant to the painter Grigore Dontu (born in 1965) for four years, during which time he would help create works and sell them at Provencal markets. Wanting to confirm his knowledge and savoir-faire, Arkady enrolled at the Sorbonne University in Paris in September 2014 to follow a dual course dedicated to art and art science. Always armed with his sketchbook, he enjoys walking about town and drawing his sketches: these first drafts would then become a guiding principle for the production of his future canvases.
