Despite its intimate size, the composition radiates with energy, suggesting both the convivial anticipation of a shared meal and the joy of Mediterranean light. Signed lower left, this work reflects Mathias’s ability to turn everyday objects into striking compositions of color, balance, and narrative.

10h à Royan (10am in Royan) Acrylic on canvas board Dimensions (unframed): 27 x 22 cm Signed lower left Condition: Excellent, presented in a gilded wooden frame with linen inlay In 10h à Royan, Grégoire Mathias captures a serene moment of seaside life through the geometric precision and rhythmic energy that define his Diachronic Cubism. Set against the vivid blues of the Atlantic coast, a figure enjoys a quiet morning coffee as sun and sea interplay in harmonious color blocks. The composition’s strong lines and vibrant contrasts evoke both warmth and movement — the golden light of morning, the hum of conversation, and the timeless rhythm of a day beginning by the ocean. Mathias’s refined Cubist language transforms this simple scene into a layered meditation on leisure and perception, blending abstraction with recognizable forms. Executed in acrylic on canvas board and signed lower left, the painting balances structure and spontaneity, revealing the artist’s unique ability to merge classic Cubist heritage with contemporary clarity.
