About the Artwork
J’entends chanter les grenouilles is a 40" x 40" oil painting by Ilinca Ghibu created on canvas. Translating to “I hear the frogs singing,” the title suggests a lively, playful atmosphere that resonates throughout the canvas. Ghibu’s expressive floral language transforms the scene into a radiant garden alive with colour and rhythm.
Bright clusters of orange, yellow, and pink blossoms rise against a soft grey-lavender background, balanced by violets and whites that bring variety and lightness. Green foliage anchors the composition with leaves in slender, fern-like shapes and broader forms. Her painterly brushstrokes shift between soft transparency and layered texture, producing a sense of movement and abundance. The painting invites viewers to imagine the sounds and sensations of a flourishing garden at dusk.

Accessibility Description
This square oil painting measures 40 by 40 inches and depicts a densely layered garden of flowers set against a soft grey-lavender background. The upper half is filled with tall stems and blossoms, including clusters of orange-red flowers, pink accents, and violet blooms. Slender, vertical leaves and delicate greenery rise between the flowers, adding height and structure. Toward the bottom, the garden becomes fuller, with masses of yellow, white, and deep violet blossoms arranged in overlapping layers. Some flowers appear soft and blurred, while others are painted with more defined edges, creating variation and depth. Green foliage weaves through the arrangement, from broad leaves to finer, fern-like shapes. The brushwork alternates between smooth passages of colour and textured layering, giving the surface both softness and energy. The composition fills nearly the entire canvas, leaving little negative space. The cool grey-lavender background contrasts with the warmer blossoms in the foreground, suggesting atmosphere and distance. The overall impression is one of fullness, rhythm, and vitality, as though the viewer is looking into a garden alive with sound and movement. The painting is presented in a simple light wood frame that provides a natural border.Shipping & Exchanges

Artwork Care
CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK
Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.
Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.
Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.
Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.
Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.
Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
