About this artwork
Poem written by Verlaine in 1873 in prison:
"A great black sleep
Falls on my life:
Sleep, all hope,
Sleep, whatever you want!
I can not see anymore,
I'm losing my memory
Bad and good...
Oh the sad story!
I am a cradle
Let a hand swing
In the hollow of a vault:
Quiet, quiet!
The sky is above the roof,
So blue, so calm!
A tree, over the roof,
Cradles his palm.
The bell in the sky that we see
Gently tinkles.
A bird on the tree… we see
Sing her complaint.
My God, my God, life is there,
Simple and quiet.
This peaceful rumor there
Comes from the city.
- What have you done, oh you,
Crying constantly,
Say, what have you done, here you are,
Of your youth?"

« Art must reveal the invisible bonds that provide meaning, a deeper unity to our reality. »
With Russian and Spanish origins along with a firm French identity, Alexandre Barbera-Ivanoff's vision of the world is inspired by a range of cultures, times and influences. He creates figurative paintings characterised by a balance of elegance and disturbia, masculine and feminine, light and dark.
