The composition unfolds through horizontal strata and slightly oblique forms, suggesting a space that feels both geological and introspective — a territory between stability and movement.

The structure balances clarity and dissolution. Lines remain present without becoming rigid, while muted tones of beige, soft greys, weathered ochres, and deep reds are carefully distributed across the surface. Each color appears measured, as if emerging from accumulated time and memory.

The paint surface retains visible traces of the artist’s gesture. Through layering, abrasion, and subtle internal breaks, the work gains a tactile depth that encourages slow observation. Nothing seeks to dominate; instead, the painting holds the viewer in a quiet, controlled tension.

Lisière Intérieure does not depict a recognizable landscape but evokes a transitional state — a threshold between the visible world and inner experience. Through restraint and balance, Sophie Dumont creates a silent painting in which contemplation becomes an inward journey.
