Sur le ponton en hiver (On the pier in Winter) - 40 x 40 cm

About the Artwork

The pier becomes a gentle boundary: between land and water, between childhood and adulthood, between movement and stillness.

The figures are close, almost compact, as if the cold had drawn gestures inward and brought bodies closer together. Heavy clothing forms a shared envelope, a quiet refuge against the outside world.

Water, omnipresent, is neither decorative nor anecdotal. It is an inner space. A darkened mirror where thoughts settle, where memories surface, and where time seems to slow when one is not alone.

Painting this scene is an affirmation that what matters most does not lie in events, but in the way simple moments are held. In the placement of a hand, in a gaze drifting outward, in the way a pier, in winter, becomes an anchor.

This work belongs to a broader exploration of human presence within everyday environments, where the landscape does not dominate but accompanies. Where discreet architecture and natural surroundings offer a space simply to be— without role, without staging.

A figurative painting as a breath. A silence inhabited.
