The young ladies of the forest
The work is inhabited by a deep desire for purity and
poetry.
Two young girls with long, immaculate dresses, obviously
binoculars, face us in a wooded setting where they live among deer.
This supernatural universe appears to us as surreptitiously
released from the mist.
Perhaps the time of a dream, have we joined the Arthurian
legend of the heart of the forest of Brocéliande?
We would then be in the presence of a twin incarnation of
Viviane or perhaps imaginary girls of Merlin and the Lady of the Lake,
guardians of the arts and letters (the one who holds an open book on her lap)
and protectresses of the hosts of these woods (the one with his hand on the
neck of the stag).
This painting takes up the theme of magical realism that the
artist particularly likes.
