Parabolic Dreams

Oil on canvas panel.

This intimate painting offers a close-up view of the Eiffel Tower’s structural lattice, rendered with a dynamic palette of blues and greens. The perspective—looking upward from beneath—emphasizes the tower’s geometric intricacy, transforming its ironwork into a rhythmic pattern of intersecting beams and arches. A diagonal sweep of girders anchors the composition, while the surrounding framework radiates outward, creating a sense of depth and engineered elegance.
Singer’s brushwork is loose yet deliberate, allowing the architectural forms to blur into abstraction. The cool tones evoke twilight or shadow, while the upward gaze suggests awe, curiosity, or even disorientation. Though modest in scale, the painting captures the monument’s monumental complexity, reframing it as a study in pattern, tension, and visual rhythm.
This piece reads as both homage and deconstruction—an exploration of how structure becomes symbol, and how close observation can yield emotional resonance.
