"Le rêve oublié", a centerpiece of the 'Story of a dream' collection by Quebec painter Hélène Lachapelle, embodies this transition between the real and the unreal often characterized by semi-abstract art. This acrylic work of significant dimensions, 20 x 30 inches, created in 2021, is distinguished by its enigmatic interpretation of childhood memories.

 In 'Le rêve oublié", tones of blue predominate, evoking the fluidity and depth of consciousness. The viewer is invited to contemplate a little girl, whose existence seems as evanescent as the memories themselves. According to the work's narrator, the girl remembers the curled horns that tangled with her hair as a child - a powerful metaphor for the intersection between innocence and strength.

 The use of acrylic allows Lachapelle to play with transparency and opacity, superimposing layers that seem to capture the floating of thoughts and dreams. The surface of the canvas is transformed into a palimpsest of memory, where each brush brings its history and texture.

 This work is not just a painting; it is a portal to the soul of a child, a memory almost erased by time but eternally etched on canvas. The piece reminds us that abstract art is not limited to what we see, but what we feel deep inside.

 Thus, 'Le rêve oublié" by Hélène Lachapelle, with its captivating charm and dreamlike mystery, is more than a work of art - it is an invitation to rediscover the dreams and fantasies of our own childhood. The availability of this original piece offers a rare opportunity to introduce an elegant conversation about art and memory into any collection of contemporary or modern art, both in Quebec and on the international scene.
