I keep coming back to "perdue". A lost flower could mean so many things, and you left it to sit there without explaining yourself. That's the kind of restraint I wish I had more of. The A4 size feels right for something quiet like this.
I don't yet know how to use larger formats. One day I'll allow myself to do it. And yes, so many people can see different things in it, which is why this time I haven't explained how I feel. Sometimes I think it's good to let everyone's imagination run free, but thank you for your comment.
That title carries the whole feeling. A lost flower is never loud about it, and neither is this piece from what you've described. The delicate line against acrylic is where the restraint sits, I think. You held something small and didn't try to make it bigger than it needed to be.
Thank you for your comment. I think this drawing doesn't need any more description; it stands on its own, and it is up to each person to feel what they have inside them. Thank you for your comment.
that's exactly it. When you stop explaining, the piece finds its own weight.
There's something about calling it 'petite fleur perdue' that already makes me feel the story behind it.
I think we all have those moments in life when we feel that sensation... And that three words are enough to avoid long explanations. Thanks for your comment.
Exactement, three words can hold so much more weight than a paragraph ever could. That economy of language feels like it trusts the person looking to do half the work.
