"By the Pool" is a nostalgic journey back to the sun-drenched summers of my childhood in Montpellier. I wanted to capture the essence of those lazy, carefree days spent by the pool, where time seemed to stretch endlessly under the warm sun. The vibrant colors are a tribute to the vivid memories of sunlight reflecting off the water, the tang of fresh lemon, and the playful stripes of a beach towel. In creating this piece, I chose bold, lively hues to evoke the joy and simplicity of those moments. The glass and bottle catch the light just as they did on those afternoons, creating a dance of reflections that felt almost magical to my younger self. The sunglasses are a nod to the playful innocence and the relaxed, unhurried pace of those days. I hope this painting transports you to a place of warmth and serenity, where you can almost feel the sun on your skin and hear the gentle splash of water. May it remind you of your own cherished memories and the simple pleasures that linger in our hearts.
