Each flower carries within it the burst of life, each flower has its own fragrance, its own colors, its personal charm. The garden in which the flower blossoms, a true place of calm and serenity, is a space conducive to reverie, an invitation to serenity and harmony bringing peace, love and gentleness.

In the garden, the air circulates with the blast of the wind, caressing the flowers and thus promoting positive energies.

With this collage entitled "View of the garden", Agnès Lavida offers us a contemplation of nature as if we were admiring it from our window ... from inside our house ... from inside ourselves.

Agnès, through her art of collage, appeals to our ability to let ourselves be moved and invites us to rapture thanks to the reading of this beautifully titled poem “Surprise“…

I was meditating; suddenly the garden is revealed And strike my fiery pupil with a single throw. I look at him with bursting pleasure; Laughter, freshness, candor, summer romance! Everything moves me, everything pleases me, an ecstasy drowns me, I go forward and I stop; it seems that joy Was on this shrub and jump in my heart! I am full of enthusiasm, love, good smell, And the azure blends its weave so well with my body That suddenly it seems, to my surprised look, That it's not this meadow, but my blooming eye And that, if I wanted, under my closed eyelid I could still see the sun and the rose.
