Le Yack (1972) - Balcony Solitude - Hand signed

This figurative work pulls us into the sparkling quiet of a Mediterranean summer. Resting on the pristine low wall of a balcony with an essential architecture, an elegant woman contemplates the ocean horizon. Dressed in a black summer dress, a wide straw hat, and retro sunglasses, she embodies a timeless, mysterious chic. Beside her, on a round table, a cocktail glass catches the zenithal light, casting a sharp shadow that underscores the suffocating heat of the afternoon. The contrast between the white architecture, the deep blue of the sea, and the dark silhouette shapes a Hopper-esque composition in tones that invite escape, celebrating the sweetness of living and solitary contemplation before the immensity.
