Aurora Borealis II

Aurora Borealis II evokes the moment when the last colours of the day seem to meet the veils of an aurora. Golden light spreads above a dark horizon, while oranges and greens blend in translucent layers. Like mist drifting across the landscape, their movement invites us to pause and gently follow what is changing.

The memory of watching the northern lights inspires this exploration, carried by the joy of painting as though playing a piece of music. Colours respond to one another through flowing translucent layers, while rivulets of paint give the composition a calm, continuous rhythm. The eye can drift with them, as though watching a spectacle in the sky and savouring each variation.

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.
