Curatorial Description:
Gratitude in Violet is a deeply expressive figurative abstract work by Arnoux, painted to commemorate Thanksgiving Day and the spiritual celebration of Saint Guido. With rich, sculptural strokes in various shades of violet, lavender, and plum, the artist constructs an ethereal landscape that merges tradition, faith, and nature. Hidden within the rhythmic textures are symbolic figures of turkeys—guardians of harvest—and a distant cathedral that rises as a quiet emblem of gratitude and divine presence.

The deliberate use of purple evokes a sense of cultural depth, artistic heritage, and solemn reverence, capturing both festivity and spiritual contemplation. Arnoux weaves these layers into a visual prayer of thanks, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the sacred gifts of life and creation.
