Saudade began with a photograph I took in Paris, a fleeting moment that stayed with me long after the evening had passed.

I wanted to capture that particular feeling of being drawn to a city after dark: the warm glow of windows, the quiet streets, and the atmosphere that only seems to exist once the sun has gone down.

A deeply moody piece, Saudade was created for those who love their homes most at night, when the lights are low, the room feels warmer, and everything becomes a little more intimate.

Painted in layered tones to create depth and atmosphere, it brings the feeling of a Parisian evening into the home.
