Flisvos is a greek word that means ” the soft sound of a small wave heating the shore”.
These series of drawings were created during the artist residency at Les Tilleuls Etretat. They are inspired by the ocean , the cliffs and the landscape of Normandy in the north of France.
This evocative diptych draws its inspiration from the striking landscape of the falaises d’Étretat in Normandy, where dramatic cliffs and natural arches meet the vastness of the ocean. In the first drawing, the iconic arch frames a serene nocturnal scene. The round moon hangs in the sky, its soft light mirrored perfectly in the water by a round rock with a similar shape. This symmetrical composition highlights the harmony of natural forms through the repetition of circular shapes—moon, rock-.
The second drawing transforms the same setting into a surreal, enigmatic space. A white veil hangs from the arch, its fabric billowing gently as if belonging to an intimate interior space rather than the open cliffs. This surreal intervention shifts the tone, creating a sense of mystery and confinement. The juxtaposition of the natural and the domestic blurs the boundary between interior and exterior, reality and imagination.
Together, these drawings explore the theme of framing—both literal and metaphorical.
