Description of the work

“Mont Chauve – 1990” is a quintessential piece from the artist’s youth, where the landscape becomes a pretext for chromatic and atmospheric exploration.

The composition presents a mountainous relief treated in blocks of color, a pastel palette (purples, blues, pinks, yellows) vibrant and nuanced, generous material applied in broad strokes, a dreamlike atmosphere, almost musical, and a swirling sky, typical of his search for light.
