The Lost Temple

Isabelle Moreau Hamdan

Medium and support
Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions
80 × 80 cm

Several scenes share one canvas: a gathering around a table above, a seated figure with a lyre at the right, and a mermaid below, among columns, amphoras and olive branches.

The line is finer and more narrative here, as if a wall had been pieced back together from whatever survived.

The eye moves from fragment to fragment without ever reaching an end.
