About the artwork

Comment te dire adieu
2021 - linocut | original size 21×21 cm | 2 print runs on yellow paper

An ode to the French woman - not as an individual, but as a representation of lightness and melancholy, of elegance and distance. She embodies that elusive middle between warmth and coolness, between sobriety and melancholy. The title refers to a 1960s chanson that touched an entire generation: a song in which farewell is not a break-up, but a refined form of dignity.

The two print runs, in saturated blue and the glossy yellow of the paper, reinforce that sense of simplicity and clarity. What remains is an almost cinematic image - a still moment in which the gaze does not look away but does not reveal anything either. The lines are sparing, the contours sharp, but within them moves a world of gentle irony and restrained longing.

Comment te dire adieu is my personal flirtation with pop art, but also a tribute to the graphic imagery of a time when music, fashion and art shared one breath. It is an echo of Paris in the 1960s - of voices singing about love, doubt and farewell - captured in two colours, two prints, one gesture.
