Landscape 

Maxime Maufra created this landscape painting using oil on canvas. Immediately, one is drawn into the interplay of light and shadow, where the brushstrokes coalesce to form a scene that feels both familiar and dreamlike. The composition is structured by the meandering river which divides the space. The water reflects the sky, blurring the boundary between earth and atmosphere. Notice how the trees are rendered with a sense of volume, yet their forms dissolve into textured daubs of paint, challenging our perception of depth and surface. The interplay between the horizontal axis of the river and the vertical assertion of the trees introduces dynamism. Maufra’s formal manipulation invites us to question the relationship between representation and abstraction. The painting does not merely depict a landscape. Instead it offers a meditation on the act of seeing and interpreting the world through the language of paint. The painting remains an evolving dialogue between the viewer, the artist, and the ever-elusive nature of reality.
