Description:
This moody and atmospheric painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures a serene moonlit lake scene, rendered in cool tones of blue, silver, and deep green. The loose brushstrokes and reflective layers evoke the stillness of water beneath a pale full moon, subtly mirrored on the lake’s surface. A small boat floats quietly in the foreground, its dark shape creating a quiet focal point within the soft, dreamlike palette.
Abstracted trees line the distant shore, painted with expressive gestural marks that suggest motion and shadow without defined form. The moonlight appears twice on the water’s surface, suggesting both reflection and rhythm, while the delicate layering of paint mimics the shimmer of light across the lake at night. The minimalist composition allows the mood to dominate—quiet, contemplative, and evocative of nature’s peaceful solitude.
Ideal for collectors of abstracted landscapes or atmospheric modern works, this piece offers an emotional connection to place and time through minimal detail and poetic composition.

Fanch Lel
Fanch Lel’s paintings, primarily executed in oil and gouache, evoke the serenity and charm of the French countryside, with a particular emphasis on the region's coastal and rural beauty. His works often highlight iconic landmarks such as Mont Saint-Michel and capture the essence of Breton culture with his portrayals of the region’s people and customs. Lel's self-taught, plein air approach allows for dynamic compositions that reflect the atmospheric light and textures of the region, giving his pieces a timeless appeal. His choice of soft, muted colors and rich textures brings a sense of nostalgia and quietude to each painting, making them a perfect addition to collections that appreciate mid-century French art. A member of the Société des Artistes Indépendants and a Knight of the Palmes Académiques, Fanch Lel's works have been featured in numerous exhibitions across France, including in Paris, Avranches, Dinard, and Pont-Aven, to name a few. His art has been highly sought after by collectors for decades.
