Original artwork description:

“Last Song” is not exactly what it seems to be — a simple beachside scene of a man walking by tide pools with a dog. It is a fabrication, like all paintings, but one where the power of memory is much more present than that of physical reality. The memory of a beloved animal companion, even in its absence, can inhabit physical spaces where they are no longer present.

Painted in the southwestern tip of Brittany, in the Sud Finistère, in August 2022, the painting seeks to embrace a certain spontaneity in execution and a rugged insouciance, which should be the core of all vacations.

Materials used:

Oil on linen
