Alcyonée 1982

'Alcyonée' by Rene Duvillier is a mystical vision rendered in cool blues and deep blacks, created with oil on canvas. Just imagine Duvillier, brush in hand, layering these colours, allowing the image to emerge slowly from the depths of his imagination. I'm thinking about what it might have been like for him standing in front of the canvas. It's a bit like staring into a nocturnal sea, isn't it? The application is thin and fluid, creating a sense of depth and transparency. See the way those white lines cut across the surface? It's like a flash of insight, a moment of clarity breaking through the darkness. The painting's surface is alive with subtle variations, small textures and details that invite you to look closer. Painters, we're all in this big conversation together. It's about what happens when thought becomes feeling, and feeling becomes form. Painting is all about that embodied expression, where you embrace the unknown and trust in the power of intuition. Duvillier seems to be saying, sometimes the most profound truths are found in the places we least expect.
