Destins (Destinies)

Destins (Destinies) evokes a fantastical quest and the courage to chart a path into the unknown. Sinuous forms weave through terrain that may suggest mountains or caverns. Between luminous passages and more mysterious depths, dragons and figures seem to emerge, like companions in an epic tale whose story has yet to be imagined.

Created in 1992, around the same time as Une lueur d’espoir (A Glimmer of Hope), this work was made by rubbing and shaping watercolour over a layer of LePage glue applied to paper. In its four orientations, a rock may become a presence, a hollow may turn into a shelter, and a path may take an unexpected direction. Each viewer can imagine the challenges to overcome, the allies to recognize, and the next step to take.

The Organic / Atmospheric Forms collection draws inspiration from nature, from the infinitely small to the vastness of landscapes. Branching lines, textures and movements suggest the living world, while the interplay of light and shadow gives depth to these spaces.

At the boundary between abstraction and what seems recognizable, these works leave their stories open. Each viewer can bring their own memories, emotions and associations, forming a connection that is uniquely their own.
