Hubert and Ara d’Aboville

With Hubert and Ara d’Aboville, I wanted the portrait to breathe with the atmosphere of the Kerantré property itself. The room, the light, the textures of the house, all of that mattered because they do not simply live in this place, they carry its memory with them. I kept the painting warm and grounded so their dignity would feel lived rather than staged. For me, it became a portrait of two people and the home that has shaped them.
