The painting titled "Shadows of Knowledge" depicts an abstract library in a resolutely expressionist manner, immersing the viewer in an enigmatic world of knowledge and mysteries. In a palette of nuanced grays and whites, the artist explores the subtle shades of shadow and light to create a deep and mysterious atmosphere. Measuring 65 x 54 cm unframed, and once framed, its dimensions extend to 72 x 61 cm, thus offering a striking presence on the wall. Each element of the composition seems to be in motion, as if the books themselves were animated by an invisible force. The artist's expressionist approach is manifested through bold brushstrokes and swirling shapes that evoke a sense of intellectual tumult. The cast shadows add an additional layer to the work, suggesting hidden layers of meaning within the knowledge contained in this abstract library. Despite its abstraction, "Shadows of Knowledge" captures the very essence of the quest for knowledge, inviting the viewer to delve into the darkest and deepest recesses of the human mind. Its mysterious and evocative ambiance makes it a captivating piece that provokes reflection and interpretation.

France
Born in Paris on April 09, 1964. Lives and works in Langrune sur Mer (Normandy - FRANCE) Sophie Dumont moved away from the Metropolis to live a few years in the West Indies, Spain and finally in Morocco. She stores up a host of images and colors that she will carefully keep at the bottom of her memory. On her return to France in 1991, she took the plunge and grabbed the brushes. From her earliest childhood, she was immersed in the world of painting, through the drawings of Henriette Dumont, her paternal grandmother who draws at all times, children and grandchildren with a line that can recall that of Matisse . Sophie Dumont is interested in the history of art, works for several years, searches, discovers in order to fully realize herself around 2007. Its invoice becomes stronger, the layers multiply on the canvas, revealing a beach or cliffs to whoever wants to discover them. His work in oil takes on its full value in successive layers and transparencies in shades of gray and white. Sophie DUMONT extends her exploration of the Norman universe. The environment is familiar to her, but she probes with obstinacy the slightest vibrations. The omnipresent landscape hides from view to reveal furtive appearances that drown in the pearly and translucent light. The subliminal vision of a horizon cut out by distant cliffs evokes a daily life punctuated by a constantly changing space. Nothing disturbs the tranquility of a space shaped by these diaphanous lights, a mixture of grays and shadows that subtly play with the fluidities of air and water. These landscapes imbued with a lyricism bordering on abstraction seem to move away from a reality that the heaviness of traditional painting wants to find in the recognizable. The representation is irreversibly detached from the motif to better reflect the emotion aroused by the total immersion in the painting. The image fades before the senses, giving the viewer his freedom of interpretation. The addition in certain paintings of materials such as gauze reveals at the same time the permanent quest for new efforts. The hierarchy established in the canvas by different centers of interest reinforces the confrontation between matter and source of light.
