The siesta is an essential moment of relaxation in our day. It allows our body and mind to rest and recharge after the morning's activities. It is a moment of well-being and calm which can be described as a kind of anesthesia. When we wake up, we feel like we no longer know where we are, as if we were disconnected from the world. This feeling is unique and brings serenity to our mind.
Napping is therefore a real job, a daily practice that requires patience and determination to be performed well. It is an art of living which consists of taking a break during the day, far from stress and obligations. Silence is then the siesta of noise, a moment of peace that allows you to completely disconnect from the outside world.
The siesta is also a courtesy that we do to our bodies exhausted by the frantic pace of the city. Modern life is often filled with stress and pressure, which can have a negative impact on our body and mental health. The nap is then a way to take care of yourself, recharge and prepare for the challenges ahead.
In my paintings, I chose to represent the siesta from different angles. I wanted to show the importance of this moment of relaxation, the beauty of the serenity it brings, as well as the need to free yourself from the outside world to focus on yourself. I wanted to convey the very essence of the siesta, its power of regeneration and comfort, through colorful and soothing compositions.
In short, the nap is a precious moment that deserves to be celebrated in our daily lives. It is a moment of tranquility and calm that can bring us a lot of well-being, physically and mentally. I hope my paintings convey this message and that you will take the time to give yourself a little nap after looking at my works.
A nice time of the day.
- The nap, it is as an anesthesia. You wake up, you do not know anymore where you are ... It is a job, a nap.
Jean-Jacques ROUSSEAU
