Original contemporary painting combining tempera, acrylic, and metallic foil. Moon Tea explores a fragmented portrait and multiple identities through a female figure and lunar iconography. Moon Tea explores the impossibility of reducing a person to a single image. On a surface traversed by moonlight and metallic highlights, a female figure appears three times. None of these appearances constitutes a complete portrait: each reveals a facet, a state, a variation of the same being. The work originated from a reflection on a friend whose life spans several disciplines, languages, and ways of thinking. Faced with this multiplicity, the idea of a single portrait became insufficient. The painting then shifted toward another logic: that of fragmentation and resonance. A moon recurs as a cyclical motif, accompanying these successive appearances. Identity is no longer fixed, but fluid—akin to a constellation where each element takes on meaning in its relationship to the others. Between contemporary figurative painting and a symbolic approach, Moon Tea offers a reflection on identity, perception, and memory. The work is part of a poetic realism where representation becomes an open space rather than a definition. This inner triptych poses the question: can we truly represent a whole person? Or do we only encounter fragments, phases, reflections?
