Original artwork

Espoir d’hiver sensitively captures the poetry of snowy landscapes through Hélène Lafontaine’s distinctive pixelism language. The scene is built from a multitude of juxtaposed rectangular shapes, gently suggesting snow-covered trees, a living stream, and winter light stretching toward the horizon.
Deep blues, luminous whites, and warm touches of ochre and gold create a harmonious contrast between winter’s chill and the promise of renewal. The landscape appears to breathe, allowing the viewer to move freely between abstraction and figuration. The artwork conveys a calming, luminous atmosphere, reminding us that even in the heart of winter, hope remains present.
