It’s a Blue House is part of Sébastien Couëffic’s Architecture series, painted on a traditional Japanese shikishi board. The artist transforms an everyday façade into a study of light, color, and balance.
The contrast between the vivid blue building and the softer yellow tones of its neighbor creates a dynamic rhythm across the small format. Thick, confident brushstrokes simplify architectural forms while preserving their atmosphere.
Through this work, Couëffic captures the essence of urban calm — a moment suspended between observation and memory.
