Landscape, marine, between sky and sea, treated with oil and knife. The sky looks like a free variation bordering on abstraction.
The sky is painted in full paste in a brightly colored material.
Sky and sea end up merging. Capturing the present moment, the light of the moment so fleeting and changing, such is the challenge of the artist. The multiple layers of material patiently elaborate the transparencies from which the lights spring. the artist strives to translate the movement of clouds, the variations of light and air. His works are a perpetual quest for light.
Figurative painting approaching impressionism.
This painting is framed with an American box in black wood
