Cap sur la liberté , Kathleen Roby has created a profoundly contemporary work, at the crossroads of intimate emotion and social commentary.

 Created in 2025 on cherry wood panel, this mixed media painting uses acrylic, collage, pastels and charcoal to powerfully and sensitively convey a reflection on freedom in today's world.

 Long perceived as a luminous promise, freedom here becomes a complex, sometimes fragile quest. The symbol of a boat takes center stage in the composition, a metaphor for persistent hope despite storms and disillusionment. The abstract forms and layered textures convey movement, a surge toward elsewhere, while also revealing the tensions, ruptures, and scars of reality.

 Warm, sometimes dark, hues blend with bursts of light evoking human resilience. Cap sur la liberté is aimed at those who still believe in the power of art to awaken consciences and foster solidarity.

 An original work in 40 x 40 inch format, this painting is ideal for any collection of engaged and expressive contemporary art.
