Manichaeism is, always, everywhere in our human world. Here, the impressive black shadow struggles against the vaporous and diffuse light of an elegiac landscape : brutal strength of the black foliage against the ethereal tree close to the house: terrifying fight! The fragile tree seems to shout: "But why?" The five cypresses like monks pray in silence on behalf of brotherhood. Hell against Heaven: the same story since immemorial times... So specifically human.

Your painting is a gorgeous atmospheric landscape and a wonderful abstract. And as both, it evokes a sense of rebirth and renewal... a creche indeed!

just moved to France, and through all the turmoil I can FEEL this painting, the early warmth of spring, delicate and beautiful.

Dear Julian, an atmosphere of duality, yes, deep dark shadows and a rosy, ethereal mist. The romantic landscape is breathlessly waiting for a sign, waiting to be animated.
