About the artwork

The digital artwork Les ailes pour voler captures an intimate summer moment, without the presence of the sky or other people. At the centre of the composition is a young woman, beaming with joy as she watches a bird about to take off from her hand. Although her figure is only partially visible, the image exudes a sense of freedom and wonder, perfectly summed up in the title: "The wings to fly."
The sun, falling into the sculpture from the left, casts a warm glow over her face and light summer dress, creating soft shadows that emphasise her expression and posture. Part of the weathered stone wall behind her and the weathered pavement also catch this sunlight, providing the image with a subtle play between light and dark. The rest of the scene - the background, corners and left side of the work - remains shrouded in cool shadow, which makes the illuminated parts look all the more vivid.
The absence of the sky makes the image introspective, almost dreamlike. The eye is inevitably drawn to the bird, just detached from the hand, a symbol of departure, hope and new possibilities. Despite the lack of explicit action, the work tells a powerful story about letting go, growth and the desire for freedom. The summer atmosphere is evoked by the warm use of colour and the soft contrast between light and shadow, without using clichés. A poetic image full of tender power.
