About this artwork
Patrick Faure’s Istanbul is a visual narrative of a city that is as much a bridge between the past and present as it is between East and West. The painting captures the essence of Istanbul’s unique identity, where ancient history and rapid modernization coexist, and where different cultures, religions, and ideas intersect.
The surreal elements, such as the cow on the bridge and the hovering architectural pieces, challenge the viewer to see Istanbul… not just as a physical place but as a symbolic space where balance, transition, and transformation are constant themes. The city is portrayed as a living entity, constantly evolving but always rooted in its rich and complex heritage.

Patrick Faure, a contemporary surrealist painter from Monaco, elegantly mixes traditional oil paint methods with his rich cultural foundations of Impressionist and metaphysical art. His masterful employment of vibrant colors and meticulous detail creates thought-provoking, symbolic compositions, unifying classical painting elements with modern, post-human imagery. His works challenge societal norms, inciting deep, philosophical existential questions, critiquing our inherent fragility in an indifferent cosmos, and blurring reality with the subconscious.
