On the Old Ruins

On the Old Ruins is a little collection of four original paintings inspired by the quiet character of ancient stone ruins and the life and imagination that surround them.

Each painting offers its own small moment, bringing together the feeling of old places, nature and unexpected visitors. From the warmth of summer to the delicate presence of a butterfly and the playful appearance of Ponchic the Rabbit, these little works invite us to look at familiar stones in a new way.

Small in size but full of character, the series celebrates the meeting of history, nature and imagination.

Story Behind the Painting

Artwork Details

I have always loved places that carry traces of time. Old stones seem to hold little stories of their own, reminding us of everything that has come and gone while nature quietly continues its work.

With this series, I wanted to explore the idea of new life appearing among old ruins. Weathered stones become more than a reminder of the past; they become a setting for colour, nature and little moments of discovery.

Each of the four paintings has its own personality. Together, they create a small world where the old and the new meet, and where even a forgotten corner can hold a little magic.

Sometimes, all we need is to look a little closer to discover that life is still finding its way through the stones.

Texture and Close-Up Details

The small format invites you to come closer and discover the individual details within each painting.

Look carefully at the old stones, the little subjects and the relationship between the forms and colours. Details that might first appear quietly within the composition become part of the charm of these miniature worlds.

Each painting offers its own small discovery. Together, the four works encourage a slower look — a moment to appreciate the character of old places and the new stories that imagination can find within them.
