In this original drawing by Bénédicte Thoraval, an imaginative head of a sea horse emerges. The artist’s interest in the imagery and narratives of flora and fauna come alive with playful lines and color. Thoraval’s work spans various mediums including drawing, mixed media installations, and textiles. With a keen eye for detail, Thoraval explores the mythical and everyday forms of nature and human relationships.
