The story behind:
When I was a child, on summer evenings, my parents, my brother, and I would sit on the bench in the garden and look up at the starry sky while my father played the guitar. I was only seven years old, and I was amazed and completely captivated by this magical nighttime spectacle.
I remember asking my father, who has now joined those wonderful stars in the sky:
- 'Daddy, are these stars far away?'
- 'Oh, yes! Very, very far away! They are in infinite space!'
- 'Daddy, what's infinity?'
- 'Infinity? ...Well... when you get there, it's still a little further away!'
I think since that day, I have never stopped wanting to get closer to the sky. As I do not have the means to do so on this limited earthly plane, I spend my time imagining it and reproducing, on canvases as white as the night is black, with dozens of iridescent, bright, or muted colors, all the landscapes I see in my dreams, hence the title of my collection: 'CELESTIAL VISIONS'.
Apart from my readings of works dedicated to the cosmos, of which I am passionate, I found the inspiration for this collection of abstract atmospheric paintings in French and English Romantic poetry from the second half of the 19th century (Alphonse de Lamartine, Charles Baudelaire, Théodore de Banville, Paul Verlaine, Victor Hugo, William Wordsworth, John Keats, William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley, etc.). I particularly like this poetic genre for the vibrant tribute paid to the beauty of nature and the simplicity of things, for its musicality, for the heightened emotions with which it is imbued, often halfway between hope and despair, for the existential questions it raises through its extended metaphors, chiaroscuro, and surrealistic images.
My "Celestial Visions" collection speaks of the sky as I imagine it, without ever reproducing existing landscapes. I love this sky because it belongs to everyone, although no one is its master. It is an eternal space of truly divine beauty, made of perfection and harmony, inaccessible but a permanent source of inspiration; a space between yesterday and tomorrow, where freedom takes its essence and imagination takes flight...
In this respect, I dedicate my "Celestial Visions" to all those who have retained their childlike soul and know how to marvel, even in the winter of their age. We live, every day, at the heart of the most beautiful work of art there is; a work of such value that it has no price... Take some time to admire it, and please protect it!
