About this artwork
I chose to take inspiration from this painting by Brueghel, in the series of Flemish paintings.
The landscape of the land that unfolds to the sea inspires me with the coexistence of two worlds: sedentary (harvesters) and nomadic (sailors)
On the same axis, the original canvas explains what man can do: stay or leave, build or discover...
The extreme modernity of the composition and what it implies justifies the introduction of the hippopotamuses… in situ, timelessness of the postures and human characteristics.

Cécile MARCHAND operates in a unique, pop and offbeat universe that plays with clichés and stands out with its humor.
The Artist brilliantly takes up the great themes of the history of Art through a form that is dear to him: hippopotamuses.
From Vinci to Degas...it is a rereading clearly updated and deliberately linked to our society.
At the crossroads, between the sacred and the pagan, she reinvents an anthropomorphic iconography where the body and the reverie that results from it are one of the strengths of her
work. These modern forms, sometimes close to the world of comics, combine with the elegance and power of oil glaze. The artist is not an iconoclast and does not desacralize the work of art, she claims it, questions it and questions our own "self".
Between tradition and modernity; humanism, lightness and commitment, she brings the Pop'art approach up to date, and
imposes its universe while creating an identity that is unique to it and recognizable among all.
