Art Story
Vanitées bleues draws on the tradition of vanitas (from the Latin vanitas, meaning "vanity"), a key genre in 17th-century Flemish Baroque painting. These works often used symbols such as the skull to reflect on the fragility and brevity of life.
In this work, the motif is reinterpreted in a contemporary visual language: the skull is no longer a fixed symbol, but a presence in flux, oscillating between appearance and disappearance. The blue palette softens the composition and creates a quiet, intriguing atmosphere that lingers with the viewer.
