Sailboats rest in port. Elsewhere children are out fishing, a person in traditional Breton style comes by on his cycle. KOVI refrains from nothing. He plays with the colours by letting the contrasts swing, in an altercation of warm and cold tones. He likes to purify the contours of the architectures and the characters without other considerations than to let his impulses dictate his choice. This isn't a painter of compromise. He’s a free artist who has chosen the material and colour to show his interest in the surrounding world. The spontaneity of execution allows him to transcend his genre scenes emphasizing the naturalness of the execution.
