Oil painting
Hubris and Pride
Original title: L’orgueil et la fierté
A head with its chin in the air, perched on a single leg, and a giraffe for company.
The creature is two bodies in one: a giraffe looking calmly ahead, and a human face tipped to the sky on top of a long shin bone. A pyramid, an obelisk of a tower and a passing bird complete the scene. One of them stands tall by nature, the other by vanity, and the painting lets them walk in step.

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.
