The apocalypse of Saint Johanes
For the children of the world
​"We don't inherit the Earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children" (Antoine de Saint Exupéry)"The Earth is not a gift from our parents, it is our children that we lend" (Indian proverb)"The earth does not belong to man, it is the man who belongs to the Earth. (Excerpt from the response of Chief Seattle in 1854 to the U.S. Government which proposed him to abandon his land to the whites, and promised a "reserve" for the native American people).
The apocalypse of the animals
​My wish was to represent nature in its three primary forms, the Mineral, plant, and Animal, released from the tangible trace of the physical presence of the man... but also faced with willingness to almost permanently locked up, faced with his power, his grip on what is not for his level of consciousness. My final view of this struggle is illustrated by the victory of nature on humans, his power of mimicry, his adaptability and also and especially his survival instinct allowing to use this human desire for its purposes to extend beyond the frame, fill it out, then go beyond. So is it for the man and his own nature, man and his body... Faced with weaknesses, must play its control of its adaptation, survival instinct to transmute his lower nature in order to regain its true freedom... It is also what might be called faith in human... It is what tells us the Apocalypse, the great Revelation...P.S.: One of the definitions of intelligence: the ability to adapt. Is the nature the same intelligence? Preserve the intelligence!
CONTEMPLATIONS
This is a brand new theme inspired by the need to ask me to slow down. Cease to be in to be no longer interested to be ...
That arises and internalizes, who observes and analyzes ...
But soon I found myself caught up in the tragic events and redundant.
Terrible but so urgent, always in my concerns: the future generations ... Whether in the field of ecology as well as in that of the great existential questions and humanists.
The circle in the square represents spirituality, the rise in the area.
The halo of light, a focus, a highlighted event, situation ... A call to awareness, an invitation to the point, to get closer to the heart of the matter. Glow in the dark. The report of this duality, the paradox of the essential human condition, light and shadow living, and transcend human limits.
Roots and dreams
​As these trees, planted in blank spaces, protected, I try to reach my dreams. Broken-down romantic, I invite you to travel across continents in a dream world, away from the hustle and bustle of modernity.
The spaces that I describe in a decidedly realistic Bill are meeting points with a disappearing world, a world where only the nature has freedom of the city. a world which the protagonists are the trees and the animal people that are intertwined as in intense communion of hope.
Hope to see one day human mimic this mother nature based landscape without any price change it. To his roots, his experience a pitch of learning who leads him to the Crown of his dreams, his imagination the most fertile, rich in images creative peace, justice and love...
The tree shows us the way. Its roots are deep and majestic is his antlers. It pierces the sky with remembrance and the immense respect for this mother earth which it draws its strength this land, idealized here, is in a big visionary party home to so many species now threatened as many appearances...
After working on various themes environmentalists (the Apocalypse of the animals, the dance of feathers) and humanist (the dance of feathers, just before the children of the world), I find myself dreaming again and in a world still...
In memory of a certain storm that has many away...
Just before the children of the world
​At the time of globalization, when moving to the next millennium, I would like to invite the public, especially young people, to make a little trip around the world particularities. This exhibition of oil paintings, paintings / sculptures also called "altars" of pastels and stained glass, a reflection on the Awareness of cultural richness, biodiversity and unity in diversity that exist on our planet. With a fundamental question:
"What future for our children on this earth?"
In a designed area in a circle (12M X 12M) around a Tipi (5M height) which is the center, unveils 12-step meeting with yourself and with others.
The iconography, symbolism and scenographic presentation highlight this diversity and unity of the people associated with the Earth. A difference that adds a particularism of these crops essential that unifies men in the same spirit of love and respect for life.
