The painting titled After Paul Cézanne reimagines a classical subject through a modern lens, blending elements of Expressionism with Cézanne’s signature techniques. It features a gestural composition reminiscent of a Sketch and study, emphasizing bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The work captures the myth of Leda and the Swan, depicting the seduction of Leda by Zeus in the form of a swan, with surreal and emotional undertones. Through this reinterpretation, the artist explores themes of myth, seduction, and transformation, characteristic of modernist Surrealism and expressive abstraction.
