PARIS<br />
The painting entitled ‘Paris’ was inspired by the interior of the<br />
Rodin Museum; its chandeliers, faded mirrors and the dim light<br />
filtering through the space.<br />
The kingfisher is symbolically the city itself, I had a desire to use<br />
a bird to represent Paris, and when I created the composition I<br />
wanted it to be almost translucent and unrecognizable.<br />
The purpose wasn’t the narrative, but to direct the focus on the<br />
light that came from the light bulb of the chandelier, and the fine<br />
motifs of the porcelain plates.<br />
The idea behind the work was to create a composition from fragments<br />
of visual elements, to the point where the work becomes<br />
almost abstract. The emphasis is on the fineness of the overlaying<br />
fragments. The original idea was to create an almost porcelain like<br />
composition, where we may even hear the clinking crystals.<br />
