About

This painting evokes an image of the woman sublimated by Jacques Prévert in his poem entitled “Quicksand” (translated here by Emil Adam):

Demons and wonders
Winds and tides
Far away already the sea has withdrawn
And you
Like seaweed gently caressed by the wind
In the sands of sleep, you stir dreaming

Demons and marvels
Winds and tides
Far away already the sea has withdrawn
But in your half-open eyes
Two little waves remain
Demons and wonders
Winds and tides
Two little waves to drown myself in.
