This is an original official poster created in 2024 for the Roland-Garros tournament — the 45th in the celebrated series of official posters commissioned by the Fédération Française de Tennis every year since 1980, each entrusted to a contemporary artist of distinction.
For the 2024 edition, the selection committee chose Paul Rousteau — French photographer and visual artist whose work navigates between digital art, optical illusion, and painterly matter. The image is a poetic and technically groundbreaking composition: a blazing sunrise over the Seine, its ochre reflection revealing, in transparency, a Roland-Garros clay court floating on the water of Paris's most iconic river. Rousteau was the first artist in the history of the tournament to place Paris itself at the heart of a Roland-Garros poster.
The creation process was equally historic — Rousteau used artificial intelligence as a starting point, a first for the tournament, before reworking the image entirely by hand, point by point, using a graphic tablet inspired by his lifelong love of Impressionism and Pointillism. The result is a work that is simultaneously technological and deeply human.
The poster also carries a deliberate tribute to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, whose opening ceremony was held on the Seine that same summer — making this one of the most culturally layered Roland-Garros posters ever produced, at the intersection of sport, art, city, and a singular moment in French history.
A rare and immediately collectable piece — the official poster of one of the world's greatest sporting events, in a year when Paris was at the center of the world.
