La Vie en Rose

One of Edith Piaf’s most famous and beloved songs. It has been covered and interpreted by many famous artists, including Louis Armstrong (who sang an English interpretation of the lyrics).

​La Vie en Rose is about finding new love after a trying time, and many people saw it as an anthem of hope as it was released shortly after the end of World War 2.

​The song’s central metaphor — of seeing the world afresh, through rose-tinted glasses made me draw.

​We live in a world of deception, with fast changes. It is one of my favourite songs so it is always an inspiration for me.

​As a hymn to a love affair so beautiful that it allows the singer to forget all “les ennuis, les chagrins” (weariness and grief), it seems like it is written for a world full of sadness but wrapped inside a colourful package.

Like the song can travel through time, through years.

​This is a drawing with a metaphorical meaning.
