Blue
Original title: Bleu
Blue: facets of turquoise and ultramarine, joined by a supple, living black line.

Register your interestIn Blue, the canvas breaks into facets, like fragments of landscape gathered together. Turquoise, cobalt and ultramarine overlap, while a black line encircles forms with irregular contours. Here and there, a violet square speckled with tiny dots, grey stones and a few touches of pink punctuate this bath of blues.
The crumpled surface, built up in layers, invites the eye to linger. One moves through the image with no imposed path, with a sense of freshness and quiet movement. Oil on canvas, 2026, 75x75.
Ambiance & interior
This canvas will sit well in a bright room bathed in natural light, where a clear wall gives it space, for example a living room, an entrance hall or an office. Its blues will readily converse with off-white walls, linen, pale wood or a pearl grey. A touch of powder pink or terracotta in a cushion or a vase can echo the small pink dots in the painting.
