Description
Under a light sky where clouds write themselves like arabesques, a dreamy scarecrow stands among the sunflowers.
But here, there is no need to frighten the birds: they love him.
A bee arrives on the foreground flower, as if to remind us that life flows everywhere, even in the silence of the fields.
Nature becomes an accomplice, as the flowers lean toward the light.
A painting where the countryside turns gentle, lively, and colorful—like a bucolic poem.
Style
Figurative and poetic painting, at the crossroads of narrative surrealism and country symbolism.
The composition weaves rhythm and tenderness within a palette where sunny yellow dialogues with summer mauves and blues.
Dimensions
Oil on canvas – 30 × 30 cm
Technique
Oil on canvas mounted on a wooden stretcher bar, crafted with brushwork and fine detail brushes.
The contrast between the lush foliage, the texture of the flowers, and delicate details like the bee creates a visual vibration close to movement.
