Original artwork description:

In "Au rendez-vous des poétes", a diptych painting unfolds where three figures gather in a café, a place without a defined time or location- an atmosphere that feels timeless. The theme of their conversation remains a mystery- yet it exudes the air of deep philosophical and analytical reflection on literature. The gathering seems to be an homage to books, to intellectual dialogue, and to the spirit of cafés where poets and thinkers have always met to unravel the fabric of thought and storytelling. We do not know for sure what is being discussed in this timeless rendezvous. The half-cracked wooden center table leg, visibly marked by the blow of an axe, can be a reminder of Kafka´s words: "A book should be the axe that breaks the frozen sea within us", suggesting that true literature is a force of rupture and revelation. The cat, almost oblivious to the scene, licks one of its paws with detached serenity, embodying silent wisdom amid human introspection.
