LA LECTRICE (The Reader) - Triptych – 1 x 103 x 74 cm and 2 x 40 x 40 cm
To read, to escape, to imagine.
Lying in crumpled sheets, she reads as one travels: without leaving the bed, yet fully embarked.
Her red sweater, her open book, the hint of a smile.
Around her, objects remain — a shelf of beloved books, an empty chair, folded jeans —
like echoes of a paused world, while hers expands.
The scene is simple, yet everything unfolds within: pleasure, awakening, absence from the world, and interior freedom.

Artistic approach
With LA LECTRICE, I continue my exploration of intimacy and ordinary postures revealed by painting.
Camille, once again muse and presence, embodies the quiet power of reading — one that transports, transforms, and momentarily removes.
The large canvas captures the suspended moment of her reading. The two smaller ones, as counterpoints, narrate the surroundings — what she leaves behind to go elsewhere: a shelf of Proust, an empty chair, a forgotten pair of jeans.
This triptych is a tribute to the act of reading as a movement of both body and mind — a journey inward.
