The artwork in detail

This work by Roger Boubenec is part of a subtle exploration of light and matter, where the visible seems to dissolve into a delicately vibrating atmosphere. Three bouquets, arranged in sleek glass vases, become the pretext for a sensitive exploration of transparency. The gaze glides through the shapes, traverses the reflections, hesitates between presence and disappearance. The pictorial material, fluid and airy, almost evokes watercolor, giving the whole a sense of suspended lightness. The palette, composed of warm tones – ivory, peach, soft ochre – bathes the scene in an enveloping light, typically contemporary, perfectly in harmony with elegant and serene interiors. An artist recognized for his work around "hydric poetry", Roger Boubenec develops a singular body of work, regularly presented on specialized platforms where some of his pieces reach several thousand euros, with an established price around €1,700. In Transparence, it is not simply a still life, but a meditation on the ephemeral, on what surfaces and disappears, on the fragile beauty of things. A work that is both decorative and deeply poetic, ideal for a refined interior where light plays an essential role.
