Valentina Bilbao created in 2017 the artwork La Vie en Rose, acrylic on canvas of 50 x 72 inches, merging her painting with the sounds of the worldwide celebrated song, written and performed by French singer Edith Piaf. The artist Valentina Bilbao tells: “As the song says, I believe that love heals.” The main colors in the painting are rose magenta tones to represent how feelings and devotion transcend time. The song inspires the painting that moves on a definite direction, towards happiness overcoming all difficulties and obstacles, like the branches of a plant that grow aiming to the light of the sky. The message is positive, about the goodness of Love bringing joy and bliss. It happens when Love helps to overcome, when Love is envisioned to share, when Love is brought beyond passion and becomes forever. The rose tone of the chosen color by the artist is the right one, not too red or too pink, not too dark or too light, as it is the real love that last all the life. The color is accentuated by the power of the strokes masterly made with the knife palette, while the sprinkles of white, grays and a darker red, can be felt like the challenges to overcome, always illuminated by the light that signals the path. The movement pointing to one side means the action going in one direction to forever complete the circle of life.
