This painting, titled "Rainbow of Knowledge," captures the essence of literary diversity and richness through an abstract representation of a bookshelf. The books, aligned on three distinct shelves, are painted in a variety of vibrant colors, ranging from warm tones of red and orange to soothing shades of blue and green. Each book, with its thick and textured spines, evokes the idea of pages filled with diverse stories, knowledge, and imaginations. The contrast between the vibrant colors and the neutral background highlights the energy and vitality that each book brings. The thick, bold brushstrokes suggest an expressive artistic approach, bringing life to an otherwise ordinary scene. The black frame adds a touch of elegance and simplicity, allowing the colors to take center stage. The knife painting technique brings a rich, tangible texture to the canvas surface. Thick layers of paint create a tactile dimension, with ridges and edges that capture light in different ways. This technique brings the books to life, making each cover distinct and tangible. Subject and Theme: The subject of the painting, a bookshelf, is both familiar and nostalgic. By painting bookshelves since 2016, the artist seems to explore the theme of knowledge, organization, and the serenity that a collection of books provides. The bookshelf, as an object, also evokes personal memories and stories, adding an emotional depth to the work. This painting can be interpreted as a celebration of reading and book collecting, symbolizing the richness of knowledge and the diversity of thoughts. The variety of colors may represent the diversity of stories and information contained in the books. Each unique color and texture of the books might evoke individuality and uniqueness, while still being part of a larger, organized whole. A hook is placed at the back for hanging the painting and you can request for a wooden case

Sophie Dumont, a professional painter based in Normandy, is celebrated for her oil paintings where texture and light intertwine in a harmonious dance of color and depth. With an international career, she exhibits in prestigious galleries, and her works are collected worldwide, particularly in the United States, where her reputation continues to rise. Her artistic universe explores timeless themes such as memory, inner landscapes, and the architecture of the imagination. Combining traditional techniques with contemporary explorations, she masterfully uses palette knives and layered glazes to create unique effects of depth and luminosity. Each canvas becomes a world of its own, where light seems to emerge from within the material. Inspired by the seascapes of her native Normandy, as well as by intimate artist studios and imaginary libraries, she transforms these settings into poetic and timeless realms. Her structured yet vibrant compositions reflect a constant search for balance between reality and emotion. Widely exhibited in international art fairs, museums, and renowned galleries, Sophie Dumont has established a style that is both powerful and refined. Her artworks, rich in history and sensitivity, invite viewers to pause, reflect, and escape into her evocative visual narratives.
