Bonjour,
This series of original drawings and paintings, titled "PIERROT" focus on the iconic French character rooted in the commedia dell’arte (Italian comedy). With his gentle melancholy, he has left an indelible mark on me since a young age.
PIERROT PLEINE LUNE (PIERROT FULL MOON)
The circular framing of this artwork guides your eye naturally through the piece, creating a sense of unity and wholeness. The geometric precision contrasts with the fluid contours of Pierrot, encircled by an elaborate sphere reminiscent of Mediterranean tile work, in which the moon symbol subtly appears. This motif of the moon, often connected with Pierrot, symbolizes his melancholic, dreamlike nature—his longing for the unattainable, much like the distant moon he gazes at. Paired with the use of negative space, this intricate pattern evokes a sense of order and infinity, enveloping the composition in a meditative quality. Pierrot’s expressions convey a subtle grace, suggesting an untold narrative that I invite you to imagine.
In PIERROT PLEINE LUNE, two Pierrots, with their soft expressions and interlocking garments, seem to engage in a silent dialogue. The full moon shape, combined with the mirrored posture of the two figures, creates a sense of harmony, drawing the viewer into an imagined narrative that remains open to interpretation. The Pierrots, gently leaning toward each other, evoke a sense of deep connection and protection.
In the end, this piece is not just about the visual—it is about creating an introspective experience, inviting you to let your imagination awaken. I invite you to feel that art is more than what we see—it’s about what it makes us dream and feel. What emotions does this PIERROT PLEINE LUNE evoke in you?
