Under the magical sign of the Elements


Source of life, sign of limpidity, of pureness, WATER represents the fluidity of forms, in blues and greens reflecting changing, iridescent tones in which purples mix with deep blues, setting off the different shades of green. Ink sketches with harmonious contours, soft curves, the soft babbling of a brook winding its way towards the roar of the torrent are all witnesses to life, unpredictable and ever-changing.



AIR, through its more or less darker, neutral tones, sets the atmosphere, modifies the composition depending on its mood, cooling off here and heating up there, like a distant fog. Air shrouds us in a veil, powders the light, and carries Nature's fragrances to delight our senses. At times crisp, it becomes charged with silvery, metallic highlights, transforming matter for a time into sparks of life.



Mother to us all, there is no end to the good it brings into our lives. Arid or moist, dry or fertile, its ambivalence and contrasts charm and fulfill us. Mother EARTH, forever present, sheds its maternal instincts upon us with its many shades of orange, sienna, while its many shades of brown, like fields waiting for their seeds to be sown, are promises of spring, flowered and colorful.



FIRE: Is the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega, the Sun and the fires of Hell; a magical, fascinating power which also has the power to transform all it touches. The Sun's warm, radiant colors of yellow and gold reflect shades of vibrant, happy purple; bright, dark shades of red highlight and sooth the days of our lives like sunsets in shades of pink and orange.
