Small Contemporary Painting By Karibou - Amour Eternel (Eternal Love) - 17" x 17"

Amour éternel [Eternal Love] is an oil on cardboard composed as a quiet, sun-warmed pastoral. Golden grasses ripple around a single weathered stone rising from the meadow, and only on closer look does the small russet dog curled beside it suggest a deeper, more poignant story. Loose, impressionistic brushwork softens the tree line and the blue-grey sky, while a gentle band of warm light guides the eye toward the central forms. Subtle impasto catches glints in the grass and stone, and the palette balances cool slates and greens with honeyed tones.

The atmosphere is tender and elegiac, suffused with a sense of steadfast devotion. The dog’s quiet presence transforms the landscape into a gentle meditation on loss and loyalty, while the sunlit field suggests consolation rather than sorrow. It feels like a moment held in reverence, a simple scene that carries the weight of memory and the comfort of love that endures.

This serene landscape, with its golden meadow and soft, impressionistic light, brings a sense of quiet comfort to any room. Its subtle narrative, hinted at by the loyal dog resting beside the lone stone, adds emotional depth without overwhelming the scene, making it appealing for anyone drawn to art that balances beauty with feeling. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates landscapes with heart, or who finds meaning in this expression of love, loyalty, and remembrance.
