The result is a dynamic, cinematic portrait of London: instantly recognisable, visually charged and perfectly suited as a statement centrepiece in any modern interior.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 18px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eBorn in 1975, Paco Raphael is a Dutch contemporary artist known for his bold, mixed‑media works that merge photography, digital manipulation and traditional printmaking.
