Oil painting
La Parisienne
Original title: La parisienne
A face with no features, reassembled in bubbles: a mouth, an eye, a cocktail glass, a dandelion clock.
Dark hair, centre parting and two plaits frame not a face but a set of overlapping transparent discs. Each holds one detail: parted lips, a slice of lemon on the rim of a glass, a seed head blowing away. The Parisienne is a myth, and the painting takes its inventory piece by piece.

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.
