Bélier Blue Night and Orange Peony Bush Print - Peony Bush - Bélier Edition

The visual

The composition plays on a marked contrast between the navy blue deepness of the ram's fur and the ochre background that surrounds it. The curved horns, treated in a creamy ivory, stand out clearly from the dark fur and guide the gaze towards the center of the work. A pile of white flowers and bright orange petals invades the lower part of the painting, creating a smooth transition between the animal and plant kingdoms. Dark green foliage punctuates the whole with fresh touches that balance the dominant warmth. The pictorial style, between digital illustration and gestural painting, gives a almost tactile texture to the petals and the hairs of the muzzle. The games of light suggest a glassy reflection on the fur, adding an almost sculptural depth to the whole. This work exudes an energy that is both wild and refined, carried by a rich and coherent color palette.
