Pracharbon

The artwork is based on the artist’s direct experience in the forests of Pracharbon, beneath Monte Rosa, during the winter of 2024/2025.
The artist continues his process of analysing the transformations of the Alpine landscape. here, as well, by inhabiting it. The wood is silent, white, black. and the protagonist trees, charred, become substrates for the growth of pioneer organisms. Lichens, inhabitants of the foliage. They colour the landscape, white, black. The artist portrays their presence using oil pastels in light blue, lichenescent tones on burnt canvases. The body of work, using colour and texture, evokes the vibrations of the snowy landscape, its delicate balance. The sign, the stroke, highlights the transformations, the contrasts, the light.
