This table of Jean-Philippe Ghiglione , made in oil on canvas with a knife, represents three sailboats sailing on a rough sea. The imposing format of 92 cm wide by 73 cm high gives breadth and dynamism to the scene. The generous thicknesses of paint, characteristic of the knife technique, give a striking texture, where each stroke of the blade leaves a vibrant imprint, accentuating the depth and the material. The sails, in bright colours – yellow-orange, green and flamboyant red – seem almost sculpted, capturing the energy of the wind that inflates them. The upward movements of the sharp strokes express a feeling of speed and fluidity. The background, dominated by tones of blue and white, suggests a sea in motion, the waves seeming to crash forcefully under the impetus of the brush. The artist manages, through the thick and textured application, to translate the liveliness and strength of the marine elements, while creating a harmonious and balanced composition. The scene, although figurative, flirts with abstraction, inviting a sensory interpretation, where the emotion of the moment takes precedence over the details.

The table of Jean-Philippe Ghiglione depicts a majestic lion at the center of the composition, captured in all its splendor and power. The white background highlights the main subject, creating a striking contrast that immediately draws the eye. The lion, painted in oil on canvas, is rendered in tawny hues, evoking the warmth and wildness of the savannah. The colors, vibrant and intense, range from golden yellow to earthy brown. The knife application adds a rich texture and an almost sculptural dimension to the painting. The knife strokes are visible, creating ridges and valleys in the material, giving the lion's coat a tactile and lively quality. The lines are both sharp and dynamic, capturing the animal's contained energy. The lion's gaze, piercing and charged with a regal gravity, seems to pierce the viewer, adding emotional depth to the work.
