Februarius Colette Boivin

The artwork presents a reclining female figure set against a stylized landscape. The woman is positioned horizontally, her head turned slightly away from the viewer, suggesting introspection or detachment. She wears a light-colored garment that drapes loosely around her form, contributing to an overall sense of languor and repose. Her hair, a cascade of dark strands, falls across one shoulder, partially obscuring her face.
The background is rendered in broad strokes of yellow and brown, evoking the feeling of a field or meadow under a bright sky. A body of water, delineated by vertical bands of blue, runs along the right side of the composition, adding depth and visual interest. The vegetation surrounding the figure appears somewhat fantastical, with stylized flowers and foliage arranged in an asymmetrical pattern.
Several symbolic elements are incorporated into the design. In the upper left corner, a glyph resembling astrological symbols is visible, alongside another symbol that could be interpreted as representing Aquarius. Similarly, on the right side, a fish-like motif suggests Pisces. The inclusion of these signs hints at a connection to astrology and potentially explores themes related to personality traits or cosmic influences associated with those zodiac signs.
At the bottom center, three hearts – pink, red, and purple – are arranged alongside the word Februarius, indicating a thematic link to February and likely Valentines Day. The signature of the artist is placed in the lower right corner.
The overall effect is one of dreamlike serenity and quiet contemplation. The simplified forms and vibrant colors contribute to a whimsical, almost naive aesthetic. Subtly, there’s an impression of isolation; the woman seems removed from the world around her, lost in thought or perhaps experiencing a moment of solitary reflection during the month associated with love and affection.
