"Before The White Lilies Fade Away" was inspired by the work of the German painter and engraver Lucas Cranach entitled "Der Jungbrunnen". It is an allegory of the passage of time and the ageing of the body. "Before The White Lilies Fade Away" reminds us that youth is far from being eternal and that it would be appropriate to enjoy... carnal pleasures. The lilies, in particular symbol of chaste love, are here posed as a troubled celebration or even an irony. Resolutely erotic, this work invites two characters evoking youth and old age. One is one of the old women in Cranach's work and the other is a personal interpretation of Jérôme Duquesnoy's Manneken Pis (the little man who pisses). In its construction and choice of colours, "Before The White Lilies Fade Away" is in keeping with Pop Art and figurative art.

"Everything is important, everything is beautiful, everything is sad. Where do we start if we choose to tell life and make it a work of art? Michèle Mailhot My work is eclectic, both in its form and in the use of media. In general, I work in "series". I think that one of the ways of making things interesting is through diversity: the styles as well as the techniques are varied. It can be the animal world [The Animals], societal criticism [Human Behaviour], comic strip-like drawing [Mr Doggy], crazy images as if from a dream or nightmare [Short Stories], gentle melancholy [Sky Blue] or, based on my own experience, phantasmagorical worlds in a dazzling frenzy [Viva La Vida]. I am currently working on the latter series. These series are very different from each other. What interests me are the variations in energy that they imply for me. So I go from one thing to another like one goes through experiences. This is often what happens in art in general and in life in particular.
