La Lumière de Leda is a luminous tribute to the artist’s grandmother as a young woman — captured in rich, tonal layers of oil that echo the strength, softness, and mystery of a life in its early bloom. The name Leda, paired with the French phrase meaning “the light of Leda,” speaks to both her heritage and the inner radiance she carried throughout her life. Set against a golden woodblock-printed background reminiscent of both textile and constellation, the portrait glows with quiet reverence. The intricate patterns envelop her like a memory held close — textured with time, yet vibrant and alive. Her gaze is steady, her presence full, and her story — though partially untold — radiates through every brushstroke. This work is not only a portrait but a meditation on ancestry, womanhood, and the beauty of remembering someone as they were—before titles, before time, before we fully knew them.
