Interpretation of the work by the artist:
The painter Géraldine wanted to paint a portrait of a naughty-looking woman with a fabric cap in relief. She enjoys working with cardboard and fabric. She loves the repetitive patterns of certain fabrics which leads to a certain contemplation. She decides to experiment with gluing fabric on cardboard (yellow fabric) and directly on canvas (blue fabrics). The artist even attempted to paint with oil paint on fabric. Successful experience! A painting for the experimental artist.
Géraldine also wanted to continue this game of patterns in painting: polka dots, lines intertwined with baobabs, her "signature" tree. The patterns cause a nice mess and give vitality and movement to the painting The title of the princess with the pea imposes itself. Each pattern can be interpreted as a colored mattress or duvet.
It's up to you to find where the pea is!

A painting, a poem
" The Princess and the Pea"
Everything turns and turns
Everything is movement
magic all the time
twirling, twirling
another world
in multiple colors
An upside down planet
Lines, patterns intersect
Comfort and discomfort mix
In a confusing setting,
melted into me.
A me, suspended, in parentheses
Let's stay the course
The direction to take
Let's believe in the future
