á PARIS
online exhibition
This online exhibition marks the beginning of a long-awaited dream — my move to Paris.
It happened, but it only lasted a year. Some say a year is long; for others, it’s barely enough.
Through this collection, I explore the emotions of dreaming, manifesting, longing, disappointment, and renewal — expressed through soft pastel art, meditation, and the slow ritual of looking.
This is á Paris — a reflection on the beauty of impermanence and the poetry of belonging nowhere completely.

á PARIS
Café du Trocadero
Soft pastel on paper
Having a café gourmande in one of the city’s most touristic spots, with the foliage of the trees softly blocking the view of the Eiffel Tower.
This piece captures the delicate balance of feeling both like a visitor and a local — the liminal space between arriving and belonging.
Café
Paris coffee culture
The dream of moving to Paris often includes cafés, museums, and long walks.
I rarely felt inspired by landmarks or postcard scenes — the soul of the city lives elsewhere.
Even in a small apartment in a neighborhood you never loved, there is a quiet essence worth keeping.
Sunny Seine
The impressionistic exception of the exhibition
Standing in this blurred, sunlit scene by the Seine, if you turn your head left, you’ll see the Eiffel Tower and a group of tourists in vivid gowns.
Next to you, the bridge with line 6 passing above and the “Inception” pillars below.
Be a tourist, be a dreamer, be whoever the city invites you to become.
Cup
Walking around with an overpriced hot chocolate
It’s not very “Parisian” to drink coffee on the go — but then again, isn’t pretending to be Parisian the biggest cliché?
Imagine this cup full of dark, steaming chocolate. Feel the warmth, the aroma, the taste — and the drizzle of a grey Paris morning wrapping around you as you walk.
A little further away the cliché Parisian sceneries, there are vignettes of nature that could be anywhere, even in the middle of a park, in the middle of a big city.
Gazebo
Romantic and old-fashioned
A sunny day, a quiet park, and an old stone pavilion. You sit in the shade, watching people far away, listening to birds and ducks in the lake — a private reverie in the middle of the city
Pink land
At a Parisian Park
There’s something magical about parks in great cities — they’re both escape and presence.
You’re surrounded by trees, wildlife, and the sounds of nature, yet only steps away from museums, cafés, and history.
It’s the perfect union of the natural and the cultured — no need to choose.
Connecting the Louvre to Place de la Concorde, aligned with the Arc de Triomphe — the Jardin des Tuileries is a Parisian oasis of color amid the beige Haussmannian buildings.

This triptych is cut pieces from a single painting, Soft Pastel on paper
This triptych was born from one large painting. I blurred and softened it until it no longer resembled its reference — leaving space for interpretation.
Some viewers see a ship, others see columns, architecture, or sky. I love that ambiguity.
Sometimes, it’s better to keep the feeling a work evokes, rather than seeking to name it.
“There was a point in my life, where I thought I should try to make “serious” art and not really allow myself to make more fun and cute illustrations, if I wanted to be the artistI aspired to. Long stoy short, that moment has passed…»
— Evi Michailidou
Parisian Yoga
A regular yoga sequence, wearing a stripped shirt
In my mid-twenties, the internet was full of guides on how to look and feel more Parisian.
The advice was always the same: Do everything you already do — just wear a striped shirt.
This piece plays with that cliché — and celebrates the lightheartedness of letting it go.
Pastry Moon
On the new moon, there’s only crambs
A bedtime story for dreamers: what if the moon turned into a different French pastry with each new phase?
A little sweetness for those who still believe in gentle magic.
Take your time. Breathe. Let this exhibition become a small ritual of art. It’s not meant to be taken too seriously — only slowly. Press play and let yourself drift through color, memory, and meaning.
You Are One of Us
Those who believe that beauty is a form of mindfulness.
Those who crave spaces of calm, art that feels alive, and rituals that make every day meaningful.
Those who collect art not to decorate, but to remember ourselves.
Those who slow down, light a candle, and let stillness become a practice.
They come to places like Maison Eviève.
Being here, makes you one of us. Whether you start your collection today with one of our galleries, or you share this exhibition with a friend, Thank you.
