In a monochrome palette of soft green, the artist constructs a minimalist landscape: stylized clouds, a horizon line, and vertical forms evoking architecture or a cypress tree.
The subtle interplay of white and flat areas creates a sensation of silence and depth, highly graphic and extremely contemporary.
This framed work is ideal for a designer interior, where its understated elegance makes it a statement piece. A unique work, sparsely detailed yet perfectly executed, it exudes a powerful presence through its minimalism and balanced forms.

Jean Boris Lacroix's approach is rooted in modernism, where form takes precedence: reduction, rhythm, and composition.
His work focuses on the essential and the ability of a few signs to suggest a world, somewhere between abstraction and landscape.

This demand for simplicity is the strength and singularity of his gouaches. This piece has an attribution mark,
