This original acrylic painting is created on a piece of antique French wallpaper, dating to around 1920. Unearthed from an attic in France, the paper carries time in its fibers — its delicate scrolls, flowers, and birds quietly woven into the figure herself.

As I painted this nude, I let the original motifs shine through her back, hips, and legs. The effect is almost like a tattoo — her skin entwined with the remnants of another era, as if she was always meant to bloom from this very surface.

Mounted on plaster and preserved in a deep white gallery frame, this piece measures 25 × 37 inches. It arrives framed and ready to hang — a love letter in pattern and form, waiting for its next home.
