Regate

While visiting his brother, Alain noticed a striking poster in the bathroom—a regatta advertisement with an image so vibrant and full of life that it immediately inspired him to create an oil painting. The central figure, a woman with a marine rope extending toward the viewer like a lasso, stood amidst a flurry of sailboats, evoking a sense of movement and freshness that captivated his imagination.

As with many of his works, Alain found himself questioning whether the painting was truly finished. The challenge lies not in knowing when to start, but in deciding when to stop—each glance revealing new details that call for refinement, again and again.
