Artwork Description

"Eau Défendue" (Forbidden Water) is a series that symbolizes the artistic world of Niki de Saint Phalle. The constellation motif depicted on the bottle represents the mystery of existence and the symbolism of the cosmos.

These symbols are also deeply connected to the world of Tarot, a major artistic project of the artist. The imagery of constellations and Tarot became important elements in Niki de Saint Phalle's work, symbolizing her mystical and imaginative artistic world.
