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.
