"Ti'amā"; "free"; in the sense of "not a slave, nor a prisoner", "who has a choice". The word is Tahitian. Sophie was inspired by the Marquesas Islands, the paradise islands. The Pacific Ocean with its opaline, transparent, turquoise hues, almost "water green". The overall tone of the work is rather light, there's not much contrast, it's deliberate. The sky almost merges with the sea, if there were no clouds. Quite minimalist, the work exudes a feeling of softness and happiness. The painting is summery and luminous, with gray/beige painted edges. /Les Iles Marquise,Tahiti, Atlantic Ocean, turquoise sea, opal color, summer, Eden, blue sky, sandy beach, wildlife, sea landscape
