This captivating artwork features a humanoid face with fantastical features, blending organic and cosmic elements. The central figure, with multiple eyes, sports swirling patterns on a geometric face bordering on surrealism. A stylized snail envelops the head, symbolizing a connection with nature. In the background, a celestial scene with planets and stars creates a dreamlike atmosphere. The miniature houses and the tree in the foreground add a contrast in size, reinforcing the duality between the microscopic and the cosmic. The pastel colors and delicate textures lend softness and depth, inviting the viewer to explore the details. This work fascinates with its visual complexity and its ability to merge different universes, offering a meditation on the interconnection between man, nature and the cosmos.
Collector’s Guide
Florence Malcombe feeds on the present, with infinite precision fixes the moment. She dives into the marine abysses, loses herself in all horizons, loses herself in limitless spaces.
So she builds, assembles and structures the shelter. The shelter, the habitat, the dwelling, the cabin, the city, fragile and ephemeral. The shelters at the very top of the totems, perched like birds' nests, protected untouchable!....
But isn't man's first shelter his own body, the fleshly envelope, the skin, the first rampart against external aggression? His work reveals this body to us, in its transparency, the strength of the feeling in front of his paintings is uncompromising.
The body becomes an architecture, and its architectures come to life! Florence Malcombe's work offers a reflection on the place of man on earth.
She is a complete artist. Over several years of research, she has developed a technique that is unique to her. Her paintings are filled with natural materials that she gleans, that she steals from the sea to return them to the sea(e) with her very personal technique, powdery materials thirsty for pigments that she happily waters.
