Denise enceinte

Emerging from a dreamscape of deep violet, a silhouette of maternal anticipation stands bathed in light. This 2002 painting captures a moment of introspection for the artist's daughter, Denise. Fluid white outlines define her pregnant form, separating her from the swirling abstraction. The palette glows with verdant greens and cool blues that echo the vibrant floral arrangement beside her, creating a visual harmony between the blooming flowers and the expectant mother. Loose, energetic brushstrokes imbue the scene with vibration. Created as Denise carried the artist's first grandson, this piece transcends a traditional portrait to become an intimate meditation on lineage and the powerful, cyclical nature of creation.
