If Éternel Été is Gabrielle Malak’s anthem to joy, V2 is its encore, louder, brighter, and utterly unrestrained. This portrait captures a woman mid-laughter, mid-bloom, mid-summer, a visual embodiment of life lived without apology. Painted in Marrakesh, where colour, scent, and sun fill every corner, Éternel Été V2 pulses with vitality.
Using acrylic rather than oil, Gabrielle embraces speed and spontaneity in his brushwork, allowing the immediacy of the medium to mirror the unfiltered joy of the subject. The flowers don’t just frame her, they erupt around her like a garden in celebration.
