A studio at La Californie, Cannes

At the villa La Californie in Cannes, a high-ceilinged room with classical boiserie serves as a cluttered artist's studio. An eclectic mix of furniture includes a modern black chaise lounge and a bentwood rocking chair. Large canvases lean against a low, curved seat, while a collection of painted ceramics sits atop a dark wood armoire. The scene juxtaposes the grand, formal architecture of the villa with the creative disarray of a working space, where art objects and household items coexist.
