About the work:

The spell is broken. Under a red velvet canopy worthy of a puppet theater, the princess in a pink dress hurls herself, arms open, toward the prince she could no longer recognize yesterday as a toad.
In a turquoise sky lit by a golden moon, large dark flowers with oversized stems watch over the scene. The ardent reds of the draperies, the deep blues of the background, and the velvety texture of the fabrics give this image a rare intensity, between enchanted naivety and the strangeness of a fairy tale.
This is not a reproduction: it is the original work, the one that was used to print the album. A unique painting, signed, that lights up both a refined child\'s room and the wall of a lover of fairy tales and poetic images.
