Description

During my last hike before the quarantine, at the end of February, my friend and I came across a field of spring snowflakes in the middle of the forest. These delicate flowers mark the end of winter, by evoking the return of life in all its beauty and fragility after the dark season. As the snow melts, some forgotten things may also be revealed...

The cycle of the seasons (and thus, the cycle of life) is always very inspiring for me; I guess more and more of my drawings are about time passing by and the ephemerality of things.

The dead knight is rather androgynous to leave you free to imagine the story of your choice, but for me, it is definitely a woman. I love the theme of armored/knight women, I feel connected to it, because it symbolizes (in my opinion) the women refusing their traditional roles (stereotyped feminity, maternity, being married...).

In the background, the fortification and towers were inspired by Gwrych Castle in Northern Wales. I like to include old stones in my drawings, as well as the moon; they represent the silent and eternal witnesses of the passage of time.
