The painting unfolds like a dreamscape of color and texture — an abstract vision of a small creature curled in its quiet universe, surrounded by vibrant constellations of dots and luminous shapes. Every mark hums with rhythm; each curve seems to breathe. The forms merge into one another like whispers of motion — living energy suspended in stillness.

Through its play of blue, turquoise, and yellow hues, The Hérisson evokes both the earth and the cosmos. The bright droplets and dotted lines recall the quills of a hedgehog seen through the lens of abstraction — protective yet soft, alive with hidden gentleness. It is a meditation on sensitivity — how even the smallest being carries the power of beauty and resilience.

I love it because it feels alive, intimate, and full of quiet emotion. There is a sense of innocence in this piece, something delicate yet steady. When I painted it, I imagined a creature that does not roar or conquer but protects its light by curling inward, turning vulnerability into grace. I love how the colors pulse together — how the dark background allows the blues and yellows to rise like soft music, glowing from within. The painting reminds me that strength can be tender, that protection can be beautiful, and that silence, too, can vibrate with energy. It’s one of those works that feels like a secret — personal, luminous, and deeply human.
