Pictorial topography of the elements

An intrinsic and extrinsic process of what constitutes a nature that is observable, personified, and personal, arising from the direct or unconscious observation of my environment. For both fauna and flora, the symbolism of colors is also important. This stems from a composition that oscillates between the imaginary and the reality of what might be a mental, imaginary, and subconscious cartography of nature. In order to be truly understood, this pictorial work requires the development of an illustrated topography of the mental and colorful landscape of an observable nature and/or one's own nature.

Night beauty

Originally from tropical America, the "Belle de nuit" offers us abundant foliage and is a plant that adapts to all environments and in many gardens around the world.

I will particularly remember the shape of its foliage, which is one of, or certainly the first, unconscious forms realized in my artistic work.

Symbolically, the "Belle de nuit" represents hope, optimism, freedom, protection, but is also associated with romance and love.

Nenuphar

I chose to depict the water lily because it symbolizes invincibility and glory. There are other interpretations of what this plant might symbolically represent: coldness, powerlessness, or destruction. In my own symbolic language, this form would represent fertility.

Oiseau du paradis

Rhizomatous, and native to South Africa. Divinely favored in paradise. This flower represents joy, birth, marriage, pleasure, and magnificence.

In my opinion, the way to interpret it would also be an expression of naivety about the different events of life.

Porcelain rose

The "Porcelain Rose," a uniquely beautiful flower originating from Indonesia, comes in several colors (red, pink, white). It symbolizes friendship and love. For me, it represents resilience.

Fern or Tree of Life

The "Fern" or "Tree of Life" represents longevity (rhizome) and knowledge, wealth, and abundance. The direction of the fern's leaves can also symbolize love, questioning, and fidelity.

The fern would also represent rebirth, adaptability, and resilience.

Flamboyant

A flower celebrating youth, and also the nostalgia of first love. It is also known as the "Phoenix flower" or the "student flower".

Peacock

The "peacock" or "peacock feather" is a lucky charm and represents the embodiment of clairvoyance. It is also a symbol of renewal and immortality.

Pink Flamingos or "Amandines"

The "Pink Flamingos," or what I would call "Amandines" (an etymology derived from the Latin *amandus* : "she who is to be loved" and "she who must be loved"), on the right, represent balance and fidelity in love as well as in friendship. They are also said to symbolize renewal and courage.

Peony

The ultimate symbol of love. It represents purity, fidelity, and also guarantees security in a relationship with the person one loves deeply. It always returns in May, the month of love.
