Les Fleurs du Royaume (The Flowers of the Kingdom)

This mixed media piece, crafted with gold leaf, ink, and paint, recalls the faded grandeur of France’s royal emblems. The fleur-de-lis, once a symbol of divine right and regal power, emerges here like a spectral imprint—faded, burnished, and weathered by time. The surface gleams with the brilliance of gold while carrying the patina of centuries, suggesting the fragile balance between splendor and ruin. A visual echo of Versailles and the ancien régime, it invites reflection on the endurance—and erosion—of power, beauty, and memory.
