Never ending Reading
In this luminous and poetic work, a suspended moment of everyday life, infused with both serenity and the quiet solitude of modern existence. Two women, seated in a sun-drenched café, become universal figures of contemplation and introspection.

This vibrant and evocative painting captures a moment of serene leisure, yet beneath its calm surface lies a subtle complexity. The scene unfolds a sun-drenched courtyard in Provence, a place where time slows down, where color and light take precedence over urgency. Two women sit at a small round café table, both absorbed in reading newspapers. Their faces are hidden, allowing the viewer’s imagination to roam freely, transforming them into universal figures, symbols of modern solitude amid shared spaces.
The composition immediately commands attention through its bold chromatic contrasts. The dominant hues warm ochres, deep blues, bright pinks, and fresh greens create a palette that feels simultaneously Mediterranean and contemporary. The ochre façade of the house glows like a sunlit wall in a late afternoon, while the turquoise shutters and chairs offer a cooling counterbalance. The shocking pink pavement, though unnatural, acts as a powerful artistic device, turning the ordinary courtyard into an imaginative dreamscape. It transforms the familiar into something surreal, evoking emotional warmth and playful intensity.
The lush greenery of the cypress trees and flowering shrubs provides a rhythmic structure that frames the composition. The vertical lines of the trees contrast with the horizontal calm of the building and café scene, guiding the viewer’s gaze upward before returning to the quiet intimacy of the seated figures. Each shade is layered deliberately, creating both harmony and dissonance.
The two women, elegant and composed, anchor the painting in human presence, yet they remain mysterious. Their legs are prominently lit, their bodies relaxed, but their faces hidden behind the newspapers create an intentional barrier. This concealment introduces a psychological tension: though they share the same space, their isolation is palpable. Friends, strangers, or even mirror images of one another, suspended in parallel worlds of thought. The newspapers act as both shields and symbols of modern detachment, but also of curiosity, of engagement with a wider world beyond the idyllic terrace.
The play of light and shadow is striking. The deep black shadows stretch dramatically across the pink terrace, grounding the composition and lending depth to its otherwise dreamlike vibrancy. These shadows, painted in dense, textured strokes, create contrast and drama, emphasizing the midday sunlight that saturates the rest of the scene. The handling of shadow reveals the artist’s technical control—turning what could have been mere background into a central expressive element.

Bazévian Delacapucinière is a French artist whose works have appeared in numerous exhibitions and publications in Europe, America and Asia.
My work focuses on oxidized images from the collective memory of the 20th century. According to Aristotle, from memory to reminiscence, it is necessary to reactivate images through the imagination to know their sensitive power. Consequently, the gaze (of portraits) becomes power, texture becomes light. Finally, this transposition of images becomes my individual memory.
