Night Watcher

Piece description from the artist

Gargoyles have guarded Paris since ancient times. During the day, they look at the city from Notre Dame, and at night, as one legend says, they leave their home and fly in the sky. There is also a legend that says that the gargoyle is a dragon-like snake, which lived in France, in the Seine River. She spewed water with great force, overturned fishing boats and flooded houses. Scientists believe that the gargoyles acting as drainpipes are just architectural fantasy inspired by dark medieval traditions. Be that as it may, the gargoyles have been watching Paris for many years and know all its secrets. Oil, canvas. Signed. Varnished.

About Natalia Shchipakina

Empuriabrava, Spain

Painting has been my passion since childhood. Among many different techniques oil painting is my favorite.

Themes of my paintings are as variegated as our world: cities, people, life, animals, dramatic art, nature. I am greatly influenced by such famous artists like Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Isaac Levitan, Auguste Renoir. My work was strongly influenced by Picasso. The painting Girl on the Ball made a big impression on me in my childhood.

Thank you for visiting my page. Hope you will find something you will like.
