Oil pastel on canvas board, 12 x 9 cm
This piece pays homage to memory and heritage, inspired by a painting once brought back from Guadeloupe by my great-grandfather. The rural path is framed by two vibrant rows of flamboyant trees, their fiery orange and red foliage glowing in the soft light of late afternoon. Cool shadows stretch across the ground, creating a rhythm between warmth and calm, passion and serenity.
The richness of oil pastel brings an immediacy to the textures, capturing both the intensity of tropical light and the intimacy of a personal legacy. A miniature window into both place and history, this work is a vibrant invitation to collectors drawn to color, memory, and atmosphere.
