Fleur bleue

A girl in a blue hairband, surrounded by enlarged fragments of her own face.

In French, someone who is fleur bleue is a hopeless romantic, starry-eyed and easily moved. The sharp portrait sits in its small green frame; around it, like echoes, the same hairband and the same mouth return larger and out of focus. It is a picture of the age at which you study yourself constantly and still cannot quite see who is there.

About the series

Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
