Cette œuvre est composée de trois plans.

Le premier présente le portrait d’une jeune femme au sourire radieux, portant une couronne de roses rouges qui attirent un colibri. Dans les yeux de la femme, le globe terrestre remplace l’iris. Sur le côté supérieur gauche pendent des hibiscus presque aussi rouges que les roses.

Au plan intermédiaire, sur le côté droit de l’œuvre, presque dévoré par la pénombre, un tronc d’arbres aux écorces rugueuses est assailli par les lianes dont on ne perçoit ni la source, ni le bout.

Enfin, l’arrière-plan est sombre.

Description de l’œuvre

Chacun de nous devrait irradier de beauté et de joie de vivre, être la vie, et arborer un radieux sourire. Nous serions alors unies à la nature. Les hibiscus parfumeraient notre quotidien, pendant que les roses nous tisseraient des couronnes. Le colibri nous chanterait à l’oreille des douceurs qui la mettraient de bonne humeur. Nous porterions dans ses yeux le globe terrestre et nos regards seraient tournés vers la terre entière.

Tout ceci semble n’être qu’une idéalisation poétique mais, si pendant une seule seconde nous arrivions à nous détacher de toute futilité existentielle, de tout souci et de toute pensée sombre, et que nous nous recentrions sur nous-même, nous nous rendrions compte que la vie en elle-même est un summum de béatitude que dans une certaine mesure, nous sommes appelés à explorer.

Certes, nous connaissons en permanence des périodes noires, de souffrances, de troubles et d’aveuglement mais nous devrions nous efforcer de les laisser en arrière-plan, pour mieux profiter de la lumière du présent. Car après tout, la meilleure des vies n’est-elle pas celle qui se concentre sur l’instant présent et le vit intensément ?

Que pouvons-nous donc faire de mieux, que de VIVRE ?

Born in 1999 in Benin, Aureal Eugénio Koffi Dossou is a talented visual artist who lives and works in his native country. After obtaining a degree in civil engineering in 2020, he decided to devote himself entirely to his passion for drawing, a vocation that he has seriously explored since 2018. Specializing in the use of ballpoint pen on paper, Aureal stands out for his ability to capture facial expressions and convey a rich range of emotions through the looks of his models.

Inspired by the surrealist works of Jono Dry, the depth of Beksinski's creations, the fascinating historical allusions of Julien Sinzogan, and the meticulous techniques of Andrew Tischler, Aureal develops a unique style that combines realism and symbolism. His choice of ballpoint pen as his main medium allows him to fully express his artistic vision, although he remains open to exploring other techniques to create varied atmospheres.

For Aureal, art is not just decorative, but a form of profound communication that aims to convey existential lessons and raise awareness. He sees his work as an exploration of the inner world, a partial reflection of the larger universe, and he continually strives to expand this perspective through his creations. Strongly anchored in the richness of Beninese history and culture, his art becomes a means of paying homage to its heritage while sending universal messages. Aureal Eugénio Dossou, as an artist, seeks to leave a lasting imprint that will speak not only to his contemporaries but also to future generations, using the power of drawing to explore and expand our understanding of the world and ourselves.
