About the Artwork
Parisian Rendezvous is a striking acrylic painting by Aleksandra Savina that was created on canvas. Aleksandra masterfully captures the romantic essence of Paris in the rain, where the iconic Eiffel Tower stands sentinel in the misty background. The composition employs a dramatic colour contrast technique—setting a monochromatic gray cityscape against vibrant, jewel-toned umbrellas and reflections. Each umbrella is rendered with thick, confident brushstrokes that create a sense of dimension and texture. At the same time, the rain-slicked pavement below mirrors these colours in elongated reflections that dance across the wet surface. The impasto technique is particularly evident in the umbrellas and reflections, where paint is applied in bold, square-like patches that give the piece a contemporary, semi-abstract quality while maintaining the recognizable Parisian scene.
Aleksandra's distinctive use of a mosaic-like application creates a captivating interplay between abstraction and representation, with the gray backdrop rendered in a patchwork of various tones that suggest the misty atmosphere of a rainy day in the City of Light. The warm golden glow from café windows and street lamps punctuates the cool palette, while pops of vibrant red from the café awning and floral elements add further visual interest. This piece beautifully conveys Paris's romantic melancholy and lively energy, inviting viewers to imagine themselves strolling through its rain-washed streets.

Artwork Care
CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK
Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.
Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.
Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.
Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.
Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.
Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
