People are more what they hide than what they show. Depicted by Carl Larsson, a surreal mid-century editorial illustration of an enigmatic female figure with an elongated, El Greco-esque silhouette, her narrow face framed by oversized cat-eye sunglasses dripping with molten gold kintsugi cracks. She lounges in a Riviera-style café, her impossibly long fingers adorned with dramatic rings clutching a cigarette holder that dissolves into a swarm of inviolable butterflies mid-air. Behind her, gravity distorts—patrons blur into painterly brushstrokes, their faces half-erased like unfinished Čiurlionis dreamscapes, while the wallpaper peels away to reveal Goya-esque gravitational bridges woven from beetle wings. Her dress, a textured explosion of 1960s Pucci-meets-dry-needle-etching, dissolves at the hem into Roux-Fontaine’s cinematic shadows, the entire scene drenched in a retro palette of oxidized turquoise, burnt saffron, and arterial crimson. A single gold beetle crawls across her collarbone, stitching past to future with each iridescent step.
Two alluring women wearing fashionable, shiny dresses are sitting in elegant red armchairs, relaxing outdoors. The woman in the foreground wears a shimmering gold dress, a yellow bandana, and large sunglasses. She has red lipstick, red nails, and big golden rings. Her arm is resting on the side of a red armchair, holding in her hand a lit cigar. She has a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee on the table beside her. Three adorable Bengal kittens are resting on the wall. Behind her, a woman in a striped gold and silver dress with white sleeves and sunglasses has a glass of orange juice and a pastry on her white marble table. Beyond them, a scenic view of a city on a peninsula with palm trees and an ocean, under a clear blue sky, is visible through a luxurious window.
