Claude's Garden

This painting is an evocation of Giverny, that mythical place where Claude Monet made water, flowers, and light vibrate. Here, deep greens and fluid blues spread like the garden’s pathways, crossed by bursts of color recalling flowerbeds in bloom. Red, mauve, and orange striations burst forth like corollas swept by the wind, echoing the impressionist touches Monet placed upon his water lilies. Through its nervous hatchings, the knife conveys the same wonder before nature’s perpetual metamorphosis. At the center of the canvas, radiant and luminous, lies something like a clearing of water, a mirror of sky. Around it, hues multiply in sprays and vibrations, creating a space where the gaze is both lost and found again. “Claude’s Garden” is an ode to artistic filiation: a dialogue between impressionism and expressionism, between the master’s light brush and the knife’s dense matter. One finds here the same quest: to capture the breath of the living, the fragile instant when nature becomes pure light.
