“Urban Landscape” is an original oil on canvas by Paul Chizik, elegantly framed in a soft champagne-toned frame that enhances the warmth of Vancouver’s iconic cherry blossom season.

A classically trained artist rooted in the European atelier tradition, Chizik is celebrated for his mastery of natural light and his ability to elevate everyday scenes into poetic, atmospheric paintings. His plein-air discipline and deep understanding of historical techniques make him one of Western Canada’s most respected contemporary realists.

In this intimate cityscape, Chizik captures a Vancouver neighbourhood bathed in spring light. Blossoming cherry trees arch over the street like a luminous canopy, their pink petals glowing against the gentle afternoon sun. Cars, shadows, and dappled light are rendered with confident, textured brushwork, giving the scene both realism and impressionistic warmth.

A tender, nostalgic view of urban nature—timeless, radiant, and unmistakably Chizik.
