Hortense

Marie-Josée Desjardins MJD2048

Original artwork. A painted portrait based on a digital collage, this piece embodies a reflection on the feminine image and its many representations. The woman’s face, deliberately altered with surreal elements—a grape-like headdress, a graphic mask, a floral ice cream cone—challenges traditional beauty standards. The presence of a lamb, symbolizing innocence, and the eclectic clothing style evoke the tension between softness, strength, and plural identity. This vibrant composition engages in a dialogue with art history and the roles historically assigned to women, through a pictorial gesture that is both critical and poetic.
