About the image:
This striking artwork captures a vibrant, energised view of a Parisian street scene, dominated by the iconic Eiffel Tower in the background. The piece employs a dynamic, pop-art or urban-collage style, featuring layers of rich colour, fragmented images, and energetic brushstrokes that give the composition a lively, modern feel. The street in the foreground is lined with classic, elegant Haussmannian buildings, creating a contrast between the historic architecture and the contemporary artistic treatment. The overall impression is one of a bustling, colourful city full of life and movement, blending the timeless romance of Paris with a bold, contemporary street aesthetic.
About the artist:
Paco Raphael, a Dutch artist born in 1975, is known for his dynamic, multi-layered mixed media works that blend traditional and digital techniques. He began his creative career in multimedia design, working with major brands before transitioning into fine art. His art is heavily influenced by his passion for urban life, graffiti, skateboarding, and hip-hop, which he developed growing up in The Hague. Raphael travels the world to photograph cityscapes, which he then digitally fuses with images from vintage posters of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, incorporating themes of cinema, music, and typography. He finishes each piece by hand with paint, pens, and stencils, giving every artwork a unique, tactile quality. Raphael's work blurs the line between art and design, with his ambition extending beyond the canvas to the creation of everyday objects like furniture and fashion.
This product is a large, framed, and signed original mixed media artwork by artist Paco Raphael. Titled "C'est La Vie," the piece features iconic landmarks from Paris such as the Eiffel Tower and captures the essence of French culture and cityscapes. Made from aluminium materials sourced from the United Kingdom, this contemporary art piece is a unique and one-of-a-kind creation that will make a striking statement in any art lover's collection.
