Yves Decaudan - Reflet de minuit

Seascape painting "Midnight Reflection" 2026
This painting, titled "Reflet de Minuit" and signed by the artist Yves Decaudan, is a contemporary work that explores the maritime theme through a semi-abstract and geometric prism. Several sailing ships with tall masts dominate the composition. The dark hulls and the white triangular sails stand out clearly against the background. The title "Reflet de Minuit" is perfectly illustrated by the work on symmetry. The white reflections in the water are almost as clear as the sails themselves, creating a mirror play that gives the painting a dreamlike and calm dimension.
"Reflet de Minuit" is a modern interpretation of the classic seascape. The painter manages to capture the essence of a harbor at night not through realism, but through the power of geometric forms and the vibrancy of an omnipresent blue. It is a work that prioritizes evocation and visual balance over literal description.
