A Girl With A Bird (2022)
by © sophiE D. S. wright alias MâOphélie
These is a three stories construction. A first version, inscribed in the tradition of japonisme was released in 2017 under the title Path of Beauty. Then, in 2019, the painting evolved in another direction, the lady shed her skin, put a fair eighteenth century wig on and became part of a short film made of stills set in motion, being one of the Gifts of Birds as the story unfolds :
There was once a Cheshire Cat Owl in my Garden
In his sleep, many many song birds :
Acorn woodpeckers, jays
& dreamy ladies.
Gems, Flowers, Berries
All telling stories …
In 2022, the lady took off her wig to reveal a braided hairstyle intertwined with the berries gifted by the bird. In one of her many hands, she holds three crystal balls pierced by a golden arrow with a leaf - the weapon of Love. She looks pensively and smiles gently, floating on a dreamy flower bed, as the bird carries to her the enigma of a fourth crystal ball.
What lies ahead ?

Persephone - The Lady of the Beautiful Garden (2022)
by © sophiE D. S. wright - alias MâOphélie
Digital mixed media
It started with a longing for the sea, yet the sea was far. So, in the summer heat waves, the Lady of the Beautiful Garden bathed in the morning mist with her beloved flowers. As she was lost in her rêverie, he saw her and her eyelashes like butterflies wings.
He gave her a crown of burning ashes, sun and silver, kissed her lips with white orchids, and took her down for an ever after in his kingdom of dormancy …

I composed this piece as a graphic novel where the narration is conveyed through recurrent symbols and figures, sometimes mirrored.
It all started with the obsessive thought that the trendy cliché ‘We are all in this together’ reveals its full accuracy during the worldwide pandemic we are currently undergoing. In this situation, the simple truth that we are much more alike than different is striking. I tried to express this through the many close faces in my composition. Isolated, framed, and yet connected on a deeper level, mindfully, soulfully. The eyes look within as isolation enhances the tendency for introspection, but they look also beyond. They look to the past, they stare at the present and this is why the color scheme talks about the melancholy of times. Those eyes also express the hope for healing, as does the faint tender smiles, the presence of masks, the two slogans - Masks of Mindfulness & Passion for Life -, the passion flowers, the butterflies and the ladybug. We all know that a page will be turned as the left side of this composition suggests, rolling onto itself, fading in greyish blue.

Et puis peut-être faut-il se souvenir que les auteurs de ces lignes et tracés, ici ou là, entendent le lyrisme en son sens musical et diffus, et non comme l’expression d’un donné personnel de confessionnal.
On éviterait ainsi …

This is a story of the Otherworld. A vivid dream. With no other timeline than flowing hair. Serene, a Lady blown away by a gentle breeze. She raises her tattooed palm, glowing lilies and an inky heart. Drawn to the heart, a bird lands on her shoulder, tightens his grip, becoming a wing at her side, as his beak rests on a sweet spot where a flower blossomed for a bee …

Last year, in August, I wrote : ‘I started this piece a year ago… thought it was finished. As often, this was a ghost destined to haunt me… It kept me awake all night, dark circles under three pairs of eyes …’
And I knew something was still unfolding … So, this is it.

Yseult Awakening In A Mirrored Dream I (November 11, 2020)

Finishing this painting took me more than 2 years. I wrote the poem spontaneously after a walk in the wilderness. But there was more in the picture, a sword with a scar, covered with rust, blossoming too. This could only be the sword lying in between Tristan & Yseult, sleeping beauty in the tender eyes of Marc, more poet than king at this very moment. Therefore, this is the portrait of his gentle soul.
