Artist Comments
This painting of a train's interior invites the viewer on a journey to the Austrian Alps. The warm and classic design of a luxurious car on the Orient Express shields the passenger from the cold outside. An Art Nouveau carpet leads the viewer's eye up to the secluded upper compartment. Resting on the side, a silver cup awaits ice and a refreshing bottle of Dom Pérignon.

About the Artist
Artist Mitchell Freifeld depicts architecture that evokes memory and nostalgia. Using a modernist approach, he highlights details that often fade into the background of familiarity. With his camera, he meticulously documents the world around him, using his shots as a reference for his art. "My works are the product of a process that is more intuitive than intellectual and a passion for simple, modern architecture and light," says Mitchell. After winning his first juried show at 10, Mitchell's lifelong dream of becoming a full-time artist took root. A pivotal moment in 2001 prompted him to seize the chance and devote himself to art-making. Now, he dedicates most of his time to a compact studio within his garage in Portland, Oregon. Mitchell's life revolves entirely around his creative pursuits, taking pictures, and working seven days a week with paints and brushes.
