In this composition, Eric Lespinasse continues his exploration of the fragile balance between realism and raw material. The female portrait, of great poetic intensity, stands out delicately against a textured background that appears cracked, as if marked by time. The face, with its strikingly precise features, expresses a deep interiority, accentuated by the closed eyes and the serenity of the gesture. The thick, fragmented areas of paint reveal an almost mineral texture, giving the whole a sculptural dimension. Warm hues of ochre, orange, and flesh blend with cool shades of blue and green, creating a vibrant contrast that magnifies the light and emphasizes the sensuality of the body. This large-format giclée on canvas (100 cm wide by 150 cm high) perfectly illustrates Éric Lespinasse's approach, where human emotion meets the expressive force of the material, between fragility and intensity.

This work of Eric Lespinasse powerfully illustrates his mastery of blending hyperrealism and pictorial material. The female portrait, captured in an attitude of surrender and gentleness, is rendered with an almost photographic precision that contrasts with the textured abstraction of the background. The delicately modeled skin blends in places into thick strokes of color, as if the flesh were in direct dialogue with the paint. The vibrant flat tints—mauve, green, orange, and blue—applied in broad strokes with a knife fragment the composition and give the whole an expressive intensity. Here, the artist plays on the boundary between figuration and abstraction, emphasizing the sensuality of the subject while recalling the raw materiality of painting. This large-format giclée on canvas (100 cm wide by 150 cm high) perfectly captures the unique world of Éric Lespinasse, where human emotion combines with the gestural force of the material.
