Contemporary painting on canva
To celebrate Mother’s Day 2026, Somexing Artistic commissioned Belgian artist Barbara Cox to create an exclusive artwork representing Lancôme’s garden in Le Domaine de la Rose. With this colorful collaboration, Lancôme invites you to rediscover the wonder of childhood in a place where dreams come to life and boundaries between reality and imagination no longer exist.
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Garden of Dreams
Inspired by the soft, luminous atmosphere of the Domaine de la Rose, Barbara Cox imagined a delicate and dreamlike “Garden of Dreams” where Lancôme’s signature pink comes to life through a refined palette of pinks, whites, and beiges. This immersive composition blends poetic and symbolic elements—heart-shaped strawberries evoking love and life, protective eyes reflecting maternal care, and the figures of Barb’Happy and Baby Barb’Happy as guardians of happiness.
Crafted with exceptional finesse, the artwork features intricate details achieved through a finer brush technique, enhanced with subtle touches of gold that bring elegance and radiance to the piece. Its textured relief adds depth and invites touch, transforming the artwork into a tactile and emotional experience. Both surreal and poetic, this creation celebrates Mother’s Day through a world where “La vie est belle,” offering a timeless tribute to love, beauty, and imagination.
Graden of Dreams reinterprets Lancôme’s emblematic symbols such as the Eiffel Tower, or floating Lancôme bottles creating a layered, sensory universe inspired by the tenderness of the mother-child bond.
