Je Suis Parisienne is a playful portrait of a stylish hen presented as a confident Parisian woman. Wearing a red beret and carrying a small handbag, she looks directly at the viewer with an unmistakable attitude.
The simplified forms, bold outlines and deep blue and golden background create a graphic, almost poster-like atmosphere. The familiar symbols of Paris are deliberately exaggerated, turning the chicken into a humorous character and a playful interpretation of French chic.
The work explores identity and self-presentation through humour. Rather than simply depicting a hen, the painting creates a personality, a woman who seems to have somewhere important to be and absolutely no time to explain herself.
