“Meant to Be” shifts into a cooler, more subdued palette, dominated by deep blues, blacks, and hints of white. Here, Léonce Lemmens demonstrates her skill in working with limited color, distilling her emotional expression to a concentrated, almost distilled essence. The painting is imbued with a somber, introspective quality, as though it were contemplating the quiet, inevitable nature of destiny. It invites the viewer to slow down, to engage with the piece’s contemplative rhythm. Each brushstroke seems measured, purposeful, yet the overall impression is one of fluidity, suggesting a sense of acceptance—a yielding to the forces beyond our control. Léonce Lemmens’s brushwork here is expressive yet contained, her gestures imbued with a subtle tension that holds the viewer in a state of suspended anticipation.
