ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Acrylic on linen canvas When picking up on Claude Monet's white water lily theme, I had no intention to "reproduce". Our perception, our vision, no longer have the innocence, if there ever was, that we could attribute to representational art and to its so-called resemblance with reality. I like the vibration created by the tension between figurative and abstract. Absence of a well defined frame, indistinctness of the horizon, floating focal point.
