Artistic Description

In Draw Me a Woman, Fair Fab intertwines innocence and sensuality through a bold visual dialogue between Le Petit Prince and the female form. The iconic childlike figure, a symbol of wonder and purity, is placed in front of a textured, vibrant silhouette of a woman—a representation of maturity, mystery, and emotional complexity.

The background features fragments of handwritten love letters dated 15 juillet 1944, evoking nostalgia, longing, and timeless femininity. The layered textures and bursts of color give the piece a dreamlike energy, while the phrase “Dessine-moi une femme” (“Draw me a woman”) invites reflection: What defines a woman? Who gets to draw her—society, memory, or herself?

Curator's Note

Fair Fab challenges the viewer with a visual riddle inspired by Saint-Exupéry’s famous line, “Dessine-moi un mouton.” Here, the artist reclaims the phrase with striking intimacy, redirecting it toward the feminine experience. The woman is not just a muse or a mystery—she is a force, both sensual and intelligent, layered in history, emotion, and art.

This piece stands as a celebration of womanhood, seen through both the wide eyes of the inner child and the reverent gaze of the adult. It speaks to the need for tenderness in understanding femininity, and reminds us that drawing a woman is not about outlines—it's about presence.
