Description:
This evocative abstract oil painting by French artist Bernadette Kelly appears to depict a child sleeping, enveloped in a dreamlike atmosphere of swirling blues, blacks, and soft whites. The expressive brushstrokes and layered textures create a sense of quiet movement, as if capturing the fleeting moment between wakefulness and slumber.
The curvature of forms and the contrast between shadow and light hint at the gentle contours of a resting figure, lending an emotional depth to the piece. Kelly’s impressionistic approach allows for a deeply personal interpretation, with the abstracted shapes evoking a sense of warmth, protection, and the tranquility of sleep.
A mesmerizing addition to any collection of abstract or figurative works, this oil painting would resonate with collectors drawn to expressive compositions that balance emotion and ambiguity, inviting contemplation on the universal theme of rest and dreams.
