Watercolor, 25 x 25 cm

I find this picture enough specific in relationship with classical representations of mermaids... Often sat, waiting for whatever lost seaman or hoping for a prince who would liberate them of their deep water's loneliness... I imagine these beings of the oceans like the felines of the seas, agile living beings with spellbinding beauty and ambigous intentions... The interpretation is always difficult with the mermaids... Are they cute and romantic wild or wild horsewomen, which each swaying hips project us slowly towards forgetting ? I tried to play on these points by setting sweetness and coldness... The aspect that I put here in value can be seen immediatly, but distrust... Mermaids like ocean go very quickly from visible tranquility to hurtful storm !

Je trouve cette image assez caractéristique des représentations classiques de sirènes... Souvent assises, attendant on ne sait quel matelot égaré ou espérant la venue d'un prince qui les libèrerait de la solitude des eaux profondes... J'imagine ces êtres des océans comme des félins des mers, agiles créatures à la beauté envoûtante et aux desseins ambigus... L'interprétation est toujours difficile avec les sirènes... Sont-elles de douces et romantiques sauvages ou de sauvages amazones dont chaque déhanchement nous propulse lentement vers l'oubli ? J'ai essayé de jouer sur ces points en opposant douceur et froideur... L'aspect que j'ai mis en valeur ici saute aux yeux, mais méfiance... Les sirènes tout comme l'océan passent très rapidement de tranquillité apparente à tempête cinglante !

Beautiful. I like that she's not a cliche mermaid, she's your own interpretation. Nice with the pearls and seaweed, too.
