The story behind
Since the dawn of time, mankind has dreamed of a garden. An original place, beyond time, where all is purity, abundance, and light. In Genesis, it is called “Eden.” But this painting tells us something else… Eden is not merely a lost garden: it is a living flame, a secret ever present, hidden in the universe and within us. The blazing mists trace its contours. They are neither flowers nor trees, but a luxuriance of primal energies, a profusion of essences that precede form. The secret of Eden is not visible to the naked eye: it reveals itself to the one who contemplates with the heart. Then, in the tumult of colors, he perceives a silent peace, as though the universe were whispering: “Here is your origin, here is your dwelling!” Eden was never lost: it veiled itself so that we might learn to seek it. For what is given without quest is forgotten… but what is found again shines forever. The secret of Eden, this painting delivers only halfway. It does not impose, it invites. It tells that this garden is not behind us, but within, ever fertile, ever alive. And in this cosmic radiance, each of us becomes once more a child of the beginning, guardian of a paradise carried in silence at the deepest core of our being.
