Symbol. 2024

In this work, the artist offers an unusual interpretation of a well-known emblem of Nice’s seaside promenade — the iconic blue chair.
But here, the chair is reimagined as a living, fluid figure, full of motion and energy.
Its intricate forms resemble wind or water currents, as if nature itself had come together to breathe life into the image.
The composition radiates a sense of transformation, where familiar outlines dissolve and reassemble into something entirely new.

The painting’s color palette directly references the French flag: the deep blue of the central figure is complemented by white and red-brown waves that form the foundation of the composition.
These flowing, elastic lines create the illusion of perpetual motion and interaction between the elements.
In the background, the famous Negresco Hotel appears in soft pastel tones, subtly anchoring the piece without overpowering the main focus.
At the base of the chair, the viewer is invited to decipher letters that form the word “NICE” — a symbolic nod to the place where the ideas of this work were born.

This painting invites the viewer to reconsider traditional symbols of Nice and to see them through the lens of imagination.
The once-static and familiar blue chair is transformed here into a symbol of freedom, creativity, and constant change.
The artist seems to suggest that even the most ordinary object can become a source of endless transformation — if we choose to see it from a different perspective.
