Confidences I and II
Oil painting, 73x60cm, 2024 Paris
Confidences I and Confidences II form a series of two oil paintings that can be enjoyed individually or complemented as a diptych. Each work features two sad monster faces in profile, eyes closed, in a pose evoking intimacy and gentleness. Warm hues dominate these paintings, with shades of orange-red and yellow, creating a warm and soothing atmosphere. These vivid colors seem to envelop the figures, reinforcing the idea of silent, inner communication, like thoughts or emotions shared without words.
The works are structured in several panels, an element that creates a kind of fragmentation, evoking the way in which confidences are built piece by piece, through small revealed touches. The organic forms that accompany these faces add a fluid and lively dimension to the composition, recalling the nature of intimate speech, which takes shape and transforms according to emotions.
The sad monsters with closed eyes invite the viewer to enter this silent intimacy, to immerse themselves in this atmosphere of confidential sharing. The panels, like the organic forms, reflect the complexity of thoughts and feelings that intersect and respond to one another. Confidences questions the notion of internal and shared dialogue, and pushes the viewer to wonder what is hidden, revealed, and how intimate connections are woven, sometimes silently, in the warmth of a shared moment.
