I love watching her paint… The world shrinks to her canvas, her colors, and her brushes… Her painting is like a dream, a product of imagination. There is innocence, gentleness, and tenderness in her lines and colors. Her inner child is set free, expressing itself and becoming exalted… even when she paints melancholic scenes.

In her, I find all the emotions I once felt while holding a paintbrush… I remember that sometimes, so absorbed in what I was doing, I would forget to eat. Creating allows you to live intensely in the present moment. You stop thinking; the past and the future no longer exist.

Our ways of painting are very different… While she recreates an imagined, dreamlike world, I am content to magnify what I see… My tones lean toward primary colors, whereas she finds joy in muted hues.

Each person paints uniquely… Each person is unique…

Passive acceptance. Resignation. The other becomes a fixture in our lives, like a piece of furniture… until fatigue and reflection creep in. We begin analyzing everything, qu...

You Will Be Reborn

Recently, I have felt your night... It's time to go get her quickly and set her free! I can hear her singing and dancing barefoot under the deafening sun of her childish laughter. Shatter the walls where you have locked her up all these years, thinking you were protecting her! Nowadays, the little girl you once were is much stronger than you. Her heart is the hotline to your soul. Her intense joy of living and her light will save you… You will be reborn.

A Mountain Meeting

Further along, I meet the sheep and then the shepherd and his dog sharing an umbrella. Like me, he really enjoys talking. He reminds me that we've met before; in fact, we crossed paths one day when I was visiting the sheepfold with my brother – and he was going down to the village. We chat about this and that, about Jean-Pierre and Fernande – the people who sold me the sheepfold – whom he has known since childhood. I learn that the village grocer is his niece. His dog, who was wary of me at the very beginning, now puts his muzzle in the palm of my hand – as if to say: “I like you!… You’re kind!” Despite the rain and the icy wind, I feel warm…
