Painting is, above all, a pursuit of research into light and color; it is a perpetual quest, the aim of conveying the sensitivity of the natural world.
In the same way as Turner, Corot, or Boudin, this painting is not so much a simple, purely figurative representation of reality as the translation of an instant through a particular moment. Thus this work seeks to transcribe, from the sketch, a touch of speed. It is an impression of a luminous sensation passing through the palette. The elements of the subject, fragile and ephemeral, carry within them a form of dream, a memory of a feeling that expresses itself at the boundary between figuration and abstraction.
In line with Odilon Redon's reflections on painting, he defines the future of his art as lying in a dimension above nature. Not to reduce it to abstraction or non-figuration, but to let it blossom in dream.
Indeed, while painting, guided by nature, can render the tangible beauty of a landscape, it remains confined to finite space, bounded by matter, and ends up simply repeating itself. Dream allows us to awaken a sensible world, drawing its inspiration from the infinite odyssey of the mind. Thought enables artistic creation to free itself from the physical constraint of matter. It is an abstract, subconscious interpretation of the world by dream in order to imagine and fantasize it. It is, in a sense, a dematerialization of thought to give it its freedom. Art then becomes a manifestation of the spirit; it represents our consciousness of the world through the feelings of the soul.
