03. Le jardin tableau

Numerous artists have painted gardens, but this artist has done exactly the opposite: she has used her paintings as an inspiration to create a garden exclusively composed of flowers, a “garden painting”.

In Chinese, one single word, hoa, means both the act of painting and that of outlining the borders of a field, and for Mona Robert the creation of a painting and that of a garden have the same logical process.

The garden is a “contemplative garden, just like those of Zen temples. It will change as the flowers are replaced over time and will offer several compositions on the same theme, making this work a real palimpsest in pictorial and landscape terms”.
