What does Artist say about this painting?
Irina:
It�s not a secret that Eiffel Tower is one of the most wanted and visited places in Paris and thousands of artists painted it in the last 120-plus years. This painting is my continuing exploration of Eiffel Tower with my artistic vision. I have visited Paris many times and I never will be tired of visiting this place. As many times I paint Eiffel Tower, as many times the vision will evolve. The painting is about evening Paris with dramatic skies. And this time I have placed two young ladies walking a little dog, enjoying a lovely breeze and setting sun. Two figures of the young women are the symbol of a friendship, the dog is the symbol of trust and faith; and, the tower with its grace and beauty can undeniably serve as a symbol of feminine intricate magnificence.
