When I paint, I try to make something I don't yet know reveal itself in the most accurate and vivid way. It is a task that makes a painter listen with his or her eyes and hand. My eyes put a title on the painting but before this happens, the hand has tried to to express what it already knows. Sometimes there is a glimpse of accuracy that comes thru. One tries to go to the root of the imagining force where a face, a landscape, a feeling grows in the dark. Maybe all of this is a fruit of my imagination, which is large I confess. But then, I read Bachelard and his essays on fire, water and not only I am comforted in what I lean while painting but he explained 10 times more. His writing has been paramount for my series : Reflections of the water/ reflections of the mind, in my Nature series as well where things want to grow, where it is animated by a primal force. In his essay, There are very intelligent and beautiful layers of meaning in the contemplations of our surrounding. it gives one confidence to explore and reveal as much as possible. So here is water remembering light in the moment and eternally. 

"Everything the heart desires that be held by the image of water"

Paul Claudel.
