This soft pastel on Pastelmat paper is part of a series dedicated to everyday scenes and the vibrant markets of Cambodia, a country she recently discovered.
Each pastel in this series follows the same guiding principle: remaining faithful to the authenticity of the people, to their natural attitudes and familiar gestures. The aim is to convey the truth of a moment, without slipping into artificial or exaggerated exoticism. Quick, sensitive sketches made on site provide the emotional foundation, while photographs complete the visual memory.
Cambodia – life scene on the Tonle Sap – the boat ride to school This work depicts a scene of daily life on the Tonle Sap, capturing the atmosphere, rhythms, and humanity of this unique place.
