"Large Orientalist Painting Asian Landscape, Japan? Halong Bay?"
This large painting on canvas transports us to an idyllic and peaceful landscape, evoking a lush and wild nature. The elements that compose it such as its limestone cliffs, its river dotted with water lilies, its weeping willows and its cherry trees in bloom are reminiscent of landscapes of Japan or even of the terrestrial Halong Bay in Vietnam. The artist offers us a personal interpretation by integrating elements from his inspiration creating a work loaded with symbolism and serenity. The clothing not very representative of Asia and the attitudes of this couple lounging at the water's edge, near a moored boat, and of these two young women under a cherry tree in bloom bring a chimerical touch to the work. Their delicate and contemplative poses reinforce the impression of tranquility and idyllism that emanates from the whole.
