Le Cygne (The Swan)

Florence Comas (b. 1965, France) “Le Cygne” (The Swan) Original oil painting with collage on canvas, signed by the artist in the lower right and titled on the verso. The framed piece measures 37 x 31 inches, with the 30 x 24-inch image having been elaborately matted and framed with quality acid-free, archival materials to museum specifications. As often seen in her work, the outer edges consist of light colored, large abstract brushstrokes leading inward to darker colors and textures that surround the central figures of a topless woman kissing a swan, both of whom seem bathed in light.

Comas has a unique style that merges her background in fashion design of clothing and accessories using beads, embroidery and other materials with her imaginative, dreamlike scenes and characters. The colors, paint and materials reveal depth and atmosphere to stunning effect. It is rare to find Ms. Comas' artwork in the USA, but she is very well known in France and her art is popular in her hometown of Paris for her unique, unmistakable style.
