"Glamour of Monte-Carlo" 

Oil on canvas , 90 cm x 190 cm

Glamour of Monte-Carlo captures a dazzling 1960s evening outside the legendary Monte Carlo Casino and its vibrant Casino Square, the historic heart of Monaco’s social life. The scene radiates luxury and cinematic flair: a silver vintage convertible glides through the square with Grace Kelly and Cary Grant at the wheel, an homage to their iconic roles in To Catch a Thief, while a stylish couple—a man in a white suit and a woman in a flowing green gown—stroll nearby, inspired by the Italian classic San Genaro, featuring actor Nino Manfredi. 

Men in tuxedos and women in elegant gowns mingle beneath the glow of street lamps and the casino’s warm golden illumination, while other classic cars in shades of pale blue and deep green line the square. The Monte Carlo Casino dominates the background, its ornate domes, grand façades, and surrounding palm trees reflecting the Belle Époque elegance that has made it a world-renowned landmark since its opening in 1863.
