Painting Les Vacances 02 by Paper Collective

As if moving across the composition, the power of the summer sun is the protagonist of Les Vacances 02 by French-Romanian artist Ana Popescu. The scene, created in rich wax pastels, is reminiscent of the long summer evenings in her adopted home of Vienna, where the light streams in through open windows. The simple graphic elements of the work, which sweeps across a room in bright shades of purple, red and dusty yellow, emphasize her use of color, light and shadow.
