Aurora Borealis I

Aurora Borealis I evokes the wonder of watching the northern lights as they ripple and shift like music across the sky. The memory of this spectacle informs the movement of the colours: on the left, a dark horizon emerges amid warm reds and oranges; on the right, blues and greens unfold in veils, as though an aurora were about to take shape.

The joy of painting echoes the pleasure of playing a piece of music. Colours respond to one another through the rhythm of translucent layers and flowing paint, moving between delicate passages and greater intensity. The eye can follow their movement or linger in a luminous area, allowing this imagined landscape to awaken personal feelings.

The Immensité intérieure (Inner Vastness) series draws inspiration from a journey through the Rocky Mountains in 2009. The feeling of being within these mountains, surrounded by their contours and by mist that conceals and reveals them, inspired a reflection on the vastness each of us carries within. These landscapes become a way to explore emotions, love, compassion, desires and courage, along with the capacity to flourish and discover new possibilities within ourselves.

Within the Gratitude collection, this exploration is guided by the intention to live fully in the present moment. Each gesture, each breath contributes to the creative process, bringing inner impulse into dialogue with what the materials allow. Water carries the colour, while turning the canvas guides its flow and allows delicate translucent layers to emerge. Through this process, a space takes shape where the eye can rest and each person can welcome what they hold within.

Created together, Aurora Borealis I and Aurora Borealis II enter into a dialogue through their colours and movements, offering two variations on the same sense of wonder.
