This piece, L'IDÉE, is a monochromatic gouache study that explores surrealism, identity, and abstraction. Inspired by the interplay of form and value, the work reduces color to focus on light,
shadow, and depth, creating an
almost sculptural effect.

This study is an exercise in value control. It relies purely on the relationship between light and dark to create dimensionality.
The expressive brushwork adds texture, reinforcing the piece's dreamlike quality.
