Visitation

The Visitation series occupies a particular and somewhat ambiguous place in my practice — a threshold between two distinct ways of seeing. It emerged during a period when I was moving away from the pure flatness of abstraction and beginning to sense the pull of landscape; the suggestion of foreground and background.

The earlier works in this series, including Le tourbillon de la vie, are rooted in a more purely abstract language — energetic, unresolved, and deliberately open. As the series progressed, I found myself compressing and tightening the composition, introducing a sense of depth and space without fully committing to it.

What began as circular patchworks of colour began to take shape in the form of floating clouds against a backdrop of sky.
