Lavande et blé
This painting is a moody landscape inspired by the Provençal valleys near Aix-en-Provence and the surroundings of Château de la Gaude. It depicts a vast field held between distant mountains, with an overgrown tree anchoring the foreground—grounding the scene in quiet presence and scale.
Rendered in layered blues and greens, the work moves between stillness and atmosphere, where land and memory begin to blur. It carries the feeling of a place both real and remembered, suspended in a soft, dreamlike state.
Created as part of a wedding project for menus and invitations, the piece reflects a landscape of gathering and transition—where nature becomes both setting and witness to intimacy, ceremony, and shared time.
