Les 5 Baignuses (2025) belongs to the The Space Between series, which explores the tension between physical proximity and emotional distance. The work is part of the long artistic tradition of bathers-a subject that has appeared across centuries of painting and sculpture. From the Renaissance through the Academic tradition and Impressionism to contemporary art, depicting the human body in natural or intimate settings has always offered artists a way to study form, light, and the relationships between figures.
In the artwork "Les 5 baigneuses" figures that appear almost like sculpted models, yet their gazes are empty, each figure similar to the others but emotionally distant. The composition emphasizes the empty space between them: despite their physical closeness, each figure remains isolated, highlighting solitude and alienation, recurring themes throughout the series. The precise colors and forms evoke aesthetic perfection, yet the lack of emotional interaction creates a striking contrast between form and meaning.
