Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork features a large, asymmetrical canvas in muted shades of pink and beige. The composition is defined by angular, gestural brushstrokes that create a sense of depth and movement. The overall effect is one of weathered, textural elegance, with the surface bearing traces of the artist's process. The minimal subject matter and abstract style suggest a contemplation of the formal qualities of paint and the expressive potential of the medium itself. This piece reflects the artist's interest in exploring the boundaries between representation and abstraction, inviting the viewer to engage with the materiality of the artwork. ...

Sophie Bueno-Boutellier uses paint to transform materials into abstractions. She transforms everyday materials that have been abandoned, neglected or damaged, such as bed sheets, towels and used clothes. Through her artistic process, she imbues them with an eminence, taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary. Bueno-Boutellier reinvents the world around her, salvaging her objects with care and giving them new life.
