A naked figure seems to float on the water in an ethereal universe of bluish hues. Moi marchant sur la peinture is a metaphor for the artistic act, and more specifically for the painter. This character who spreads streaks of white paint as she walks is a self-portrait of Marlène Mocquet. From the blurred background, with a few brushstrokes the artist makes this small, mischievous-looking character emerge and come to life, as if they were playing with the layer of paint. Marlène Mocquet combines tactile matter and more diluted washes to create games of scale that evoke a child's view of the surrounding environment.
