In this compact and vibrant composition, books are transformed into an architectural arrangement of vertical and horizontal forms. Ivory, sage green, coral pink, terracotta, burgundy, orange and deep charcoal create a sophisticated chromatic rhythm across the surface.

The varied placement of the volumes suggests the movement of a musical composition: upright books establish the tempo, while stacked volumes introduce pauses and shifts in direction. The title, which translates as “Symphony of Books,” reflects this interplay of color, rhythm and structure.

Applied in successive layers with a palette knife, the oil paint reveals textured surfaces, irregular edges and subtle traces of earlier colors. Both recognizable and abstract, the painting brings warmth, energy and literary character to a contemporary interior.

Created in France in 2024. Signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
