Description
This piece by Nicole Monnereau, titled Palmier (2023), is a vibrant and expressive work created using mixed techniques on paper. On a compact square format of 19 x 19 cm, the artist combines collage elements, drawn lines and layered shapes to build a dynamic composition.
At the heart of the work, a stylized palm tree emerges with energetic, flowing leaves in warm earth tones, standing out against a backdrop of abstract, darker forms. Cut-out shapes—resembling stars or arrows in contrasting colors such as pink, beige and black—intersect and overlap, adding movement and visual tension. The variety of papers, textures and graphic elements engage in a lively dialogue that reflects contemporary artistic exploration.
Overall, the piece balances playful energy with visual sophistication, blending natural imagery with abstract composition in a compelling and modern visual language.
