Albane Simon, Artist, London

Description

A surreal artistic image presents a woman sitting on a beach reading. She has short brunette hair and is wearing a yellow bathing suit. Her back and arms are covered in various traditional style tattoos including a rose, swallow, and shark. An open book rests in her hands. In the lower left of the frame a deflated ball or cushion printed with a world map lays discarded. Behind her, the beach stretches to the ocean, with dune plants and other vegetation. Several translucent geometrical cubes hover above the horizon. A hand is seen pushing a daisy with green stem into her lower back. The image has a vintage, textured feel. The color palette leans towards warm tones, especially sandy yellows and muted blues.
