The Little Prince Is Back

What if the Little Prince by Saint-Exupéry came back to Earth in the Canadian boreal forest instead of the Saharan desert? In this unusual and moving artwork, the dark tones and the raking light add depth to our encounter with the child from elsewhere. Anyone who observes the painting feels directly addressed by the main character, who we guess carries an important message. The fine art giclée on canvas is offered with or without frame. Discover some secrets of the original painting in the History section.

Gisèle's inspiration came from a moving dream. From then on, an obsession, a mission inhabited her: to paint the child messenger and his fox friend from a somewhat blurred spiritual vision. Only music composed by Vangelis helped her express this inspiration on canvas. She listened to it several times a day while she painted. Admiring the painting while letting yourself be carried away by this musical atmosphere is an extraordinary experience, a journey to the heart of artistic creation! Click below to listen to it:
