Original artwork

In Voler comme les oiseaux, Gabrielle Dumont invites us into a vast landscape filled with light, where sea, sky, and horizon seem to merge in a single breath. In the foreground, a contemplative figure stands before the immensity, while a few birds cross the sky, embodying the sense of freedom and uplift suggested by the title.

The richness of encaustic gives the work a vibrant and luminous surface. Shades of blue, white, golden ochre, and pearly gray are layered with fluidity, creating a space that feels both shifting and serene. The textures suggest the gentle strength of the elements, the movement of water and air, and an inner light that animates the entire composition.

Through this poetic scene, Gabrielle Dumont evokes the need for freedom, contemplation, and the soul’s impulse toward something greater. A sensitive and luminous artwork in which the human presence enters into dialogue with the immensity of the natural world in an atmosphere of calm and openness.
