Introducing "ange gārdien de Lennon" (The Guardian Angel of Lennon), a captivating artwork that pays tribute to the enduring legacy of John Ono (1) Lennon. Inspired by a serendipitous encounter with a guardian angel while savoring an espresso in a quaint French coffee shop, this piece embodies the angel's message of perpetuating Lennon's remarkable influence on our world.

Through this heartfelt creation, I sought to capture Lennon's optimistic worldview and his extraordinary way of life. In today's reality, life may not always resemble the idyllic "strawberry fields," but Lennon's spirit remains a beacon of hope and inspiration.

The dreamy gaze and contemplative thoughts that Lennon possessed are immortalized in this artwork, as I faithfully sought to bring the word "Imagine" to life, just as the guardian angel instructed. Additionally, I have included the guardian angel on the canvas to ensure the perpetuation of Lennon's boundless creativity.

Employing short brushstrokes and eschewing pronounced accents and reliefs, I deliberately embraced the power of simplicity in my painting. This choice serves to accentuate Lennon's imaginary and enigmatic perspective, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in his blurred yet profound vision.

"Ange Gardien de Lennon" invites you to experience the timeless essence of John Lennon, a guardian angel whose influence and artistry continue to shape our lives. Allow yourself to be transported into the ethereal realm of Lennon's imagination and be inspired to keep his legacy alive.
