If Art has to be the only true form of truth and honesty, then painting is a conversation, a more or less disguised fight. Through the creative process, there’s no other way but to be honest with yourself and the artwork that is being created. |...

This striking painting features a contemplative figure seated among an abundant display of vibrant flowers and greenery. The stark contrast between the figure's muted palette and the lively colors of the flora captures attention. The subject, dressed in a rich, earthy-toned shirt, exudes a sense of introspection, enhanced by their relaxed posture and delicate cigarette. The background, with its subtle hints of windows and colorful blooms, creates a harmonious blend of traditional and modern aesthetics, making this artwork a captivating focal point for any space. This painting would make an excellent addition to a living room, study, or cozy reading nook where it can inspire conversation and reflection. Its bold use of color and emotional depth makes it suitable for both contemporary and classic interior styles. Consider placing it above a statement piece of furniture or using it to anchor a gallery wall.
From my series of portraits, this painting represents the artist Jean Cocteau on a bed, smoking a cigarette. In the tradition of old photographs and paintings, I added two bouquets of flowers with the idea of creating an imaginary interior, between reality and dreams. The abundance of colors and a play on proportions are intended to destabilize the public regarding the general mood of the painting. |
