Angel with four faces

This captivating painting presents a surreal blend of figures and nature, drawing the viewer into a whimsical world. Central to the composition is a figure in a vibrant blue jacket, exuding a powerful presence. Surrounding this character are several faces that suggest a deep narrative, perhaps representing different facets of personality or emotion. Tucked within the branches of a large, earthy-toned tree, a young boy in a striped sweater adds a playful contrast to the somber nature of the other figures. Intriguing elements like butterflies and a small crocodile lend a sense of fantasy and curiosity to the scene. The background is a riot of colors, with warm and cool tones merging harmoniously, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. This artwork speaks to themes of identity, childhood wonder, and the interplay between humanity and nature, making it a fascinating centerpiece in any interior space.
This painting can enhance a variety of interior spaces, particularly in a modern living room, children's play area, or an art-focused gallery. Its vibrant colors and multifaceted characters will energize a room and can work well against neutral-toned walls, adding an engaging focal point. It's also suitable for creative spaces like studios or offices where inspiration and imagination are encouraged.

When making portraits, the painter is led to question himself on the very subject of his work. Aware that music cannot be directly transcribed into images, certain lyricists have sometimes been able to arouse a creative appeal. So when Bob Dylan mentions an "angel with four faces" in his song Angelina, an image, even though it remains abstract, forms in my mind. I wanted her to be mercilessly, strong and in control of her destiny. The angel with the four faces slices and smiles. It is one with trees, flowers and animals. A child, without a reflection of cloudy water, observes her. | Angel with four faces, 2020, mixed media on canvas, 165 x 100 cm.
