About the artwork

The digital artwork "Despite war and pandemic" shows a powerful still life centred on hope and resilience, in the midst of a turbulent world. In the foreground, a bunch of trumpet daffodils sparkle, bright yellow and vibrant, bathed in sunlight. Their petals almost seem to reflect light, a symbol of optimism and new life. These flowers, in the middle of the landscape, form a contrasting focal point to the broader, more austere background. Behind the flowers stretches a stylised fort moat, rendered in simple lines and subtle hues, creating a sense of tranquillity and texture. Behind them is a row of trees, arranged tightly and rhythmically, their silhouettes darker and more subdued than the foreground, giving depth and balance to the composition. Above all this, a brilliant blue sky, completely cloudless and summery, curves a visual counterpoint to the bleak reality of war and pandemic. The choice of an open, clear sky emphasises the work's hopeful message. While the world groans under the heavy burden of conflict and disease, this artwork reminds the viewer of the power of nature and the small moments of beauty that endure. The artist, inspired during a bike ride at Fort de Batteries, captures with this digital image not only a landscape, but also an emotion: the ability to see light and colour even when the world seems dark. Thus, the simple encounter with blooming flowers becomes a universal sign of hope.
