The London Southbank riverside of the Thames with view to the Big Ben clocktower and Westminster Palace during a colorful sunset, United Kingdom London, England is a city that never sleeps. This sprawling metropolis, which is home to over 8 million people, is always bustling with activity and energy, but when the sun sets and the lights come on, it really comes alive. The painting above is a very personal one. It is about how I fell in love in London for the first time, in 2011. It was my first Christmas there and for a girl growing up in the mountain Balcan range in a small town I didn’t even imagine how I would feel when I came to London. Little did I know how impactful and transformative this visit would be at this time of my life. I remember how deep inside I knew this was where I needed to be, this is where my life needed to start all over again. The festive spirit, lights and culture all made me feel magical. I use the highest-grade archival materials in creating this artwork to ensure that this painting is ready to withstand the ages. All of my Originals come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
