The ascent

Oil Painting - 90X90 cm- 2019, private collection

Two dancers, a man, a woman, in full celestial ascension joined a procession of various birds. Their faces express intense joy as they rise to the heights. Is the woman trying to join the man ahead of her in this ascent? Does he even know that she is there, so close to him?

A new variation of the dream where dance continues to occupy the space. The artist continues this experience of lightness associated with joy when leaving the earth. The freedom of moving bodies resembles the beating of a wing: to pursue the dream, one must now escape ever higher if one is to escape the contingencies of reality.
