Description

On a striped tablecloth in summer colors, a red tin can becomes the theater for a miniature world. The surface of the oil is transformed into a lively sea where colorful sailboats sail under an imaginary sky. A freshly cut lemon, acting as a delicately placed Sun, adds a touch of realism and irony. The inscription "Douceurs Marines" on the can, combined with the humorous mention "Plaisir net, plaisir égoutté," enriches the artwork with a narrative and mischievous touch.
