The return of the series « Missae Breves », (which was successful), has been occured after some very interesting discussions I had with one of my young nieces, Elodie,(18 years old).
The versions n°3 and n°4, which I will paint before Christmas, will be very close to the 2 previous versions. I publish one more time those 2 previous versions, (large sizes):
The deep sense of this series depend on the size !!
The large sizes turn around a very personal universe.
The small sizes are parts of the large sizes, but in a simple decorative point of view.
This is the reason why I painted more small sizes than large ones…
The 2 sheets of sketches below show my searchs in this way: I continue the discussion started with Elodie, but with my brushes… Through the questions she asked to me, I discovered a lot of my own questions when I was 18: the same troubles in family life, and some other things which I can not write here, of course… I found help at the same age, with a man living in the same state of mind as mine: life seems to be a circle, isn’t it? I decided to dedicate the « Missae Breves n°3″ (large version), to Elodie. I deeply wish that her health will evolve in a good way…
The 2 sheets. Global view:
And now, 2 details extracted from those sheets, which represent the future versions of the « Missae Breves n°3 and n°4″:
See you…
