In Pensées Entrelacées, she explores the inner architecture of thought through a composition that resembles an abstract mental library.

Rectangles, chromatic fragments and “book-like” forms overlap, shift and interact, suggesting the movement of ideas and the silent dialogue that shapes reflection. The words of philosopher Hannah Arendt echo throughout the work: “To think is to dialogue with oneself.”
Rather than depicting books, Sophie Dumont constructs a visual mapping of thought — a woven field of connections.

Executed entirely with oil using a palette knife, the painting reveals layered textures, subtle erasures and reworked passages that retain the trace of time. Warm neutrals, ochres, chalk whites, deep reds and muted greens establish a harmonious yet dynamic composition.

Pensées Entrelacées will appeal to collectors drawn to thoughtful abstraction, literary symbolism and intellectually engaged art. A sophisticated and contemplative piece that enhances both design-led and cultural interiors. See less
