I literally fell in love with these Water Lilies series, paintings made by Claude Monet between 1915 and 1926, when we were in the museum: “l’Orangerie” in Paris with Monsieur Raynal. It was absolutely beautiful and stunning. These huge canvasses and all these colors were amazing!! I think this is the combination of all these elements that makes me love the Water Lilies. The room is completely white, which enhances the beauty of the paintings. Contemplating these water lilies makes me feel so peaceful and calm. I love colors in art because I think they create emotions in the viewers, and those pastel colors are so nice. It was really impressive because the paintings covered all the walls and that’s insane for us, simple people, to understand how an artist could make such giant paintings. It must have been a lot of work, but it’s worth watching and admiring them !
