Traversée d’un souffle chaud (Passage of a Warm Breeze)

Traversée d’un souffle chaud (Passage of a Warm Breeze) invites the viewer to drift with a warmth that moves gently among the forms. More intense colours emerge from a veiled atmosphere, then soften, like mist stirred by a warm current of air.

Created in 2026, the work explores shades of red, from warm orange tones to softer pink variations. Watercolour, acrylic, and coloured pencil are layered on canvas, bringing translucent colour together with textures and drawn contours.

These textures place the work within the Stratis collection. They evoke rock, its fissures and junctions, while also allowing for more organic interpretations. A small shape may suggest a living presence; a landform may become a landscape. Colour accompanies these transformations, like a breeze gently warming everything it passes through.

Horizontally, the composition may suggest a territory unfolding through colour. Vertically, the forms offer winding paths and openings to follow. Viewers can linger, imagine what lies within a fold or beyond a clearing, and let the journey continue in their own way.
