La composition est agencée en une pyramide qui élève le regard vers le visage du modèle. Aucun décor ne détourne l’attention due au sujet.
Une lumière diffuse baigne la scène, peinte dans une tonalité chaude aux dominantes ocres. La figure, réaliste, est traitée en clair-obscur d’une touche fine et précise, tandis qu’en contraste, le fond indistinct est négligemment brossé.
Le modèle est jeune ; ses traits sont charmants et graciles, et son regard vif et secret se fait le gardien de son fragile univers poétique.
Mais les chats le révèlent dans sa sensualité et sa vulnérabilité. Créatures libres et indépendantes, ils représentent le mystère et symbolisent à la fois la féminité et le pouvoir magique de l’énergie charnelle. Ils sont également associés au symbole de protection, celle-ci étant ici accentuée par la position des félins autour du modèle et leur attitude rassurante. Leur mode de vie nocturne fait par ailleurs écho à l’atmosphère de l’œuvre.
A demi-mot est ainsi dévoilée la complexité de cette jeune fille aux chats, sensible et pleinement femme.
Rémi Acquin, a contemporary French artist, embarked on his artistic journey with an early recognition of his talent, honing his skills through relentless drawing by the age of 22. His artistic abilities had already garnered attention during his primary school years. However, a transformative encounter with oil painting opened up new vistas for Rémi, challenging his previous notion that this realm belonged exclusively to professional painters. This revelation marked a turning point, elevating painting from a cherished hobby to a transcendent and primary mode of expression.
Despite painting not being his primary profession, Rémi Acquin has embraced the freedom of an independent artist. His creations are a reflection of his personal tastes, resulting in a body of work that exudes sensitivity and sincerity. While exploring various subjects, Rémi hasn't abandoned his love for representative features, considering them indispensable guides in his artistic journeys.
In landscape painting, Rémi gravitates toward the serene beauty of shores and streams. His canvases capture tranquil atmospheres, vibrating with light and bursting with chromatic harmonies that play on complementarities, radiating freshness. Clever choices of perspectives draw viewers irresistibly into his paintings, inviting them to share in the emotions that inspired the artist. Each piece becomes an immersive experience, encouraging spectators to relax, take a deep breath, and savor the captured moments.
