Awa’s Blue
Dry pastel on matt pastel
40 x 60 cm
2025
Awa, whose first name means ‘source of life’, unfolds in shades of turquoise blue evoking both the sea and the lustre of a precious stone.
Through the blue of the fabrics and beads, poised between presence and distance, Awa is revitalised and finds her way again.
The composition and the contrasts in hue lend an intimate, fresh and soothing presence.
