À la plume

‘A simple design, fluttering like a bird at the window.’ A delightful simile for Florence Manlik’s scarf, in the artist’s own words, and the perfect evocation of an image as delicate and light as a feather. Like a collection of quills, the multicolored plumes spell out ‘Hermès Paris’, the words poised to float away on the air. Myriad fine lines compose this ethereal, colorful composition, seemingly wafted onto the soft silk square by the breath of creativity itself. Inspiration a-plenty, infinite patience, intense concentration… A unique approach to the art of drawing, based on the extraordinary precision of a single gesture, repeated a thousand times over.
