Les Diablerets 1903

Paul Signac built ‘Les Diablerets’ from a multitude of tiny, individual brushstrokes of pure colour. I can almost see him, the artist, patiently dabbing the canvas, one little dot at a time, as his own way of understanding a landscape. I like how he's used these contrasting colours – the blues and greens against the pinks and oranges. It's like he’s trying to capture a fleeting moment, the way the light hits the mountains, and the shadows dance across the snow. The painting feels alive with a kind of shimmering energy, like the air itself is vibrating. Signac’s pointillist technique can also be found in the work of Seurat and others, but he brought his own sensitivity to the form. Painters are always in conversation, you know? Each one building on what came before, offering their own perspective. It is a reminder that art isn't about perfect representation. It's about feeling, about seeing the world in a new way.
