Le Cap Sicié et les Deux-Frères vus depuis la plage de St. Asile à St. Mandrier
Le massif du Cap-Sicié, fait partie des Monts toulonnais. Il est situé entre les communes de La Seyne-sur-Mer et Six-Fours-les-Plages et constitue l'un des points le plus au sud de la région PACA (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur).
Les "Deux Frères" sont les deux rochers qui marquent son passage.
Une légende raconte que deux frères amoureux de la même sirène s'y seraient entretués et le Dieu Poséidon, (dieu grec de la mer), les auraient pétrifiés...
C'est sans doute une galéjade du temps où nous étions grecs et que l'on se nommait ici : Tauroeïs, voire Tauroentium...

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
