Eden

It all began in the garden of the studio. An ordinary gesture — bending a branch so that a fruit could be picked — suddenly revealed the space differently: by the river that borders the garden, the fig trees, mulberries, vines and wild flora aligned themselves into a vision of Eden.

From this sudden revelation emerged 26 paintings, created over three summer months. Plants, flowers, and the fauna of the Oise intertwine in an organic fabric where everything is movement, proliferation, and interlacing.
