Part of the "My Inner Garden" series, this original artwork by Pauline Larouche is created using acrylic and mixed media on a 24 x 24-inch gallery-wrapped canvas. Unframed and ready to hang, this piece belongs to the "Words to Say It" series, conceived as part of a fundraising campaign for the Quebec Association for Suicide Prevention. In this collection, each painting invites reflection on emotions and the richness of the inner world.

The figure, created from impressions made with a gel plate, seems suspended between contemplation and reflection. Is it preoccupied with farm responsibilities or simply savoring the fragrance of the magnificent bouquet before it? This freedom of interpretation allows each viewer to project their own story onto it.

Textured papers and collages guided the development of the composition, creating a world where flowers, materials, and colors interact gently. The reliefs bring depth and movement, while the luminous hues evoke hope, calm, and resilience.

This contemporary Quebec painting is an invitation to slow down and cultivate one's own inner garden. It will bring a warm, poetic, and inspiring presence to a living or working space.
