“Forêt imaginaire”
Oil on canvas – 105 × 152 cm
In this forest, nothing is truly realistic, yet everything feels familiar. The trunks rise like columns that form a passage, an in-between. Light slips through the verticals, glides across the ground, clings to the textures. Colors live here like a breath: deep blue, mineral green, vibrant pink that appears in the heights, almost like a luminous memory.
This forest is not a depiction of an actual place. It is an inner space, a mental landscape, a territory of sensations. One moves through it, not as a spectator, but in presence. The composition invites you to move forward, to traverse, to find your own path within the image.
This painting is part of a study on the perception of the living, its density, and its fragility. Painting the forest is exploring the subtle link that connects us to what transcends us: shadow, light, movement, origin.
