Original artwork description:

Alice in Wonderland, 30 x 35 cm, collage and acrylic on oval canvas, 2024

Alice is the first production in a series dedicated to heroines in literature. I couldn't miss the story of this young girl who falls into a white rabbit's hole to find herself in an absurd world without any meaning. Disney's film adaptation remains a reference for me. My Alice has grown up but is still immersed in a book, without images or writing, a teacup in the shape of a cat in her hand. She is blonde, like the one in Disney, and is dressed in similar colors. She has a tattoo on the inside of her wrist that recalls the Queen of Hearts. The oval canvas, for its part, evokes the continuation of the tale, entitled "Through the Looking Glass".
