In the summer of 2014, I decided to dedicate a series of my work to the poetry of the forest. Because a lake surrounded by a forest is in my area where I walk with my husband every day, (traveling abroad has become impossible for me at the moment) , so I decided to turn my attention to this very close biotope : woods full of mystery , with wonderful backlight and … silence. Certainly a contemporary theme with our increasingly disappearing nature.
Poetry you can discover ass well in your immediate environment, in the small scale , if you have an eye to see it. It isn’t banal but a world of silence, beauty, light, contrast and tonality of green and blue with sculptural and meditative aspects, sometimes with hidden people and soundless animals. It could be seen as man and nature.
The rich green, the hazy blue with red spots of humans as accents let arise some little painter poems. A fascinating sojourn.
