Dear art lovers, if you like the art of Maestro Florence Metge, please click the link to follow this artist and art gallery Snow Pearl to discover all our artists and beautiful artworks. Thank you so much! we appreciate your interest to our work. A woman swims in a pool. Banal scene of ordinary life. Two details, nestled in the shadows, reveal underlying narratives. A man whose shadow can be seen stands by the pool, out of view. As for the shadow of the swimmer, it evokes a mermaid: ambiguity and possible mutation of this woman. In West Africa, the mermaid, with fair skin, possesses a double power: purveyor of wealth, she can be fatal to her lover whom she would take with her to the bottom of the oceans. I am sensitive to the evocation of suspended moments, when the situations are not yet determined. Anything can still happen: good and bad, but never quite one, nor quite the other. The cheerful colors disturb less serene. Florence Metge Maitre Florence Metgé is a French painter. She was born in 1952 in Algeria. She then lived in different countries: France, Indonesia then several African countries, including 12 years spent in Ivory Coast.
