This piece was inspired by one of my mother's favorite French Poets, Louis Aragon. I created it with the words of his poem "Il n'Aurait Fallu" in mind. I used the third paragraph which is written in the middle of this painting. I wanted it to be fresh and like the air and space it talks about. In 1956, Aragon is still celebrating Elsa Triolet because their "Novel" is "Unfinished". This poem is a story in which Aragon tells us of his brutal resurrection thanks to Elsa. It is a lyric poem: Aragon is amazed and wants to amaze us with the miracle of love. This poem is a hymn to love and a superb love letter. Il n'aurait fallu Qu'un moment de plus Pour que la mort vienne, Mais une main nue Alors est venue Qui a pris la mienne. Qui donc a rendu Leurs couleurs perdues Aux jours aux semaines, Sa réalité À l'immensité Des choses humaines ? Moi qui frémissais Toujours je ne sais De quelle colère, Deux bras ont suffi Pour faire à ma vie Un grand collier d'air. Rien qu'un mouvement Ce geste en dormant Léger qui me frôle Un souffle posé Moins qu'une rosée Contre mon épaule. Un front qui s'appuie À moi dans la nuit, Deux grands yeux ouverts, Et tout m'a semblé Comme un champ de blé Dans cet univers Un tendre jardin, Dans l'herbe où soudain La verveine pousse, Et mon coeur défunt Renaît au parfum Qui fait l'ombre douce Il n'aurait fallu Qu'un moment de plus Pour que la mort vienne Mais une main nue Alors est venue Qui a pris la mienne Approximate English translation: It would have taken Just a moment longer for death to come, But a bare hand then came and took mine. Who brought back their lost colors to days and weeks, its reality to the immensity of human affairs ? I, who shook all the time with unknown angers, two arms were enough to make in my life a big necklace of air. Just a move This light gesture when asleep, brushing me, A breath hanging less than dew over my shoulder. A forehead resting against me in the night, Two eyes wide open, and everything seemed to me like a wheat field in this universe. A gentle garden, Grass where suddenly verbena grows, And my defunct heart is reborn to the perfume that softens the shadows. It would have taken Just a moment longer for death to come But a bare hand then came and took mine

United Kingdom
Isabelle Séné was born in France in 1969 and has lived in Britain since 1991. Painting has always been in her family: her father, whom she truly admires, is a talented photographer and painter; and her mother, a wonderfully creative mind who could create beauty out of anything, discovered herself a passion for painting murals late in her life. They are Isabelle’s inspiration which led to the journey of experiencing the intimacy and freedom between the mind and the canvas, the soul and the paint. Isabelle uses colours and textures to create an emotional rather than a realistic form of expression; painting what she feels when seeing something or someone – believing the internal expression and observation holds as much value as the external. Inspired by colours, shapes and textures as well as feelings and emotions, she has a passion for engaging with unusual mediums such as pebbles, sand, strings, wood shavings or simply layers of paint applied with the hands in order to get a thickly texturized piece of art which will invoke temptation by the viewers to touch, smell and merge closely with the painting. In 2011 Isabelle resigned from the corporate world of Investment Banking and moved to the south coast in a bid to start a new life away from the hustle and bustle of London. Since then, she finished a full-time course in antiques restoration, started a successful business in furniture making and restoration with her partner, and created a much loved community project supporting marginalised women and refugees in Portsmouth. Moving to Hampshire from London was key in enabling Isabelle to develop an increased level of artistic expression and ethical rewards.
