Le Ciel Bleu was painted in anticipation of a journey to the South of France. The artwork began with the colours of the sky and the Azure waters, meeting the movement of both of them.
As the journey unfolded, more colours found their way into the work: the warm tones of the grain fields, the soft purples of lavender, the deep Azure of the water, and the delicate tones of sun-warmed sand. I was longing to encounter these soft, sunlit colours again.
The artwork can be experienced with two different background colours, or without a background, allowing the work to remain as pure and open as possible. Choosing a background introduces another layer to the experience, creating an interplay of colour, depth, and light. The artwork therefore changes subtly depending on how it is placed, inviting the viewer to discover a different atmosphere in each version, to become involved in the ever changing interplay.
