Oil on kraft paper, 2m x 1m
Beaux-Arts de Paris

Painted during a pause in 
life’s storm —
Olivier lies still, yet luminous.

His body stretches like an exhale,
violet and ochre blending into soft breath and skin.

Beneath the brush: care.
Beneath the form: friendship.

This is more than a figure.
It’s presence held.
Light remembered.
