The story behind
In this painting, the deep blue evokes the vastness of the ocean, realm of Tethys, goddess of the primordial seas. Bursts of color cut across the scene like flamboyant marine creatures, as if accompanying their queen in a sacred procession. Turquoise flashes mingle with incandescent reds, recalling the vitality of corals and the dance of jellyfish in liquid light. Each painted movement suggests the ebb and flow, the immutable rhythm of tides guided by an ancestral force. The energy of vivid colors contrasts with the depth of blue, creating a space that is both mysterious and vibrant. One seems to glimpse an aquatic cortege sliding silently through the abysses, bearing a beauty that is both fragile and powerful. This composition pays homage to the ocean as a matrix of life, as the sacred cradle of origins. Within this abundant unfolding, the gaze drifts, wavering between awe and reverence. Are we not all heirs to the cortege of Tethys, children of the same primordial sea?
