A young, vulnerable yet elegant, African lady is presented to us in "Les Yeux Fermés" by artist Fabienne Arietti. Her jewelry-adorned face seems to bask in the sun or perhaps the gaze of the artist. The title means 'eyes closed,' and yet there is nothing 'closed' about the depth and timeless beauty of this earth-toned piece. Arietti's skill is in revealing the soul of her subjects through the simplicity of her composition and an almost mystical presentation of a cracked canvas with muted earth-tones. This piece will grace any collection, from the modest to the extravagant and will garner endless praise and conversation from visitors to your home.
