Sunshine


Sunshine, a portrait of a woman in bright colours, by Bonfelle

When she comes, it’s sunshine.
I painted her in bright, generous colors because that’s how she arrives: warm, confident, impossible to ignore. The strokes move with a playful rhythm, the way a good conversation does.

Some people change the temperature of a room just by walking in. This is my attempt to paint one of them.

P.S. You know who you are ;)

شمس

حين تأتي، تأتي الشمس معها. رسمتُها بألوان مشرقة وسخية لأن هذا هو حضورها: دافئة، واثقة، يستحيل تجاهلها، وتتحرك الضربات بإيقاع مرح كحوار جميل. بعض الناس يغيّرون حرارة المكان بمجرد دخولهم، وهذه محاولتي لرسم واحدة منهم.
