Le repos, Oil on canvas. 36 x 48 inches.
Serie Songes et matières, 2023
This series offers a poetic and intimate exploration of the human figure. Each painting invites immersion into a dreamlike, almost mystical universe, where the naked body merges with abstract landscapes, blending organic and geometric elements.
The backgrounds are constructed like stained-glass windows, fragmenting space into a mosaic of vivid shapes and colors. This aesthetic evokes a duality between fragility and strength, intimacy and universality.
The bodies, often depicted in resting or contemplative poses, appear in symbiosis with their surroundings, while the lines and patterns running through them recall natural cycles and the rhythms of life. Trees, foliage, curves, and light interact with the human figures, embodying, in turn, shelter, oppressive force, or protective energy.
“I explore the human figure as a shifting symbol, both fragile and universal. Each body carries an intimate cartography, made of lines, flows, and light.” Guimond
