Postcards from Paris Join Martin Lawrence Galleries, Costa Mesa, and celebrate the magical world of Liudmila Kondakova. Meet the artist and delight in her mastery of color and light, captured in breathtaking original paintings and limited-edition prints. Martin Lawrence Galleries is proud to present Liudmila Kondakova‘s collection entitled “Notre Dame in Winter," including “Postcards from Paris”. Construction on Notre Dame, the most stunning gothic cathedral in the world, was initiated in the 12th century and completed in the 14th. From the moment it arose, it became the very heartbeat of medieval Paris. It was further immortalized in writer Victor Hugo’s 19th century classic “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” and works by the artist Henri Matissé. Kondakova’s unique ability to capture Notre Dame’s dramatic towers, spire, stained glass, and statuary is legendary, and-like all of Kondakova’s work-is guaranteed to take your breath away. “We all know the feeling of experiencing a dream so real and vivid that when we wake, we lived it. I feel this way about my art”. -Liudmila Kondakova
