Melody of Rain

Description of Art: Melody of Rain presents a harmonized scene of theatrical introspection: a ballerina in a crisp tutu sits on a chair at the water’s edge, umbrella in hand, gazing toward a vintage gramophone from which a slender stream of rain or liquid emerges. Behind her, other dancers drift across a shoreline, and black umbrellas float through the twilight sky. Cheval juxtaposes classical dance imagery with surreal motifs—umbrellas in flight, gramophone pouring liquid, dancers on the sea—to create a visual allegory of emotion, memory and transformation. The metal substrate underpins the luminous palette and sharp lighting, giving the piece a reflective, other-worldly surface. Through this composition, Cheval invites the viewer into a dream-scape where sound becomes rainfall, movement becomes metaphor, and stillness holds narrative tension.
