About this artwork
This painting was born above Mont d'Or, in this territory where beech trees face the harshness of the elements. These trees are ancient. Snow and storms constrain them, preventing them from truly rising, and yet they remain, inhabited by a stubborn energy. For several days, I worked on site. The conditions were difficult, the storms swept everything away. Each canvas absorbed something of this ordeal, of this struggle between the fragility and the…
power of life. This painting carries this intensity within it. It is not just the trace of a tree: it is the memory of a resistance, the condensation of an energy that surpasses man. Filmmakers followed this work. As drones were not yet used in cinema, they designed a unique device. Despite extreme weather, they captured aerial views in relief of a rare intensity.

Charles Belle is a painter whose work is distinguished by a poetic and powerful exploration of nature, often deployed in monumental formats. Starting from reality, the artist goes beyond it to reach the very essence of life. For him, nature is not a subject: it is a state, an energy, a passage towards abstraction.

In 2023, seven French museums joined forces to present the first major retrospective dedicated to Charles Belle, bringing together more than 1,600 works and offering a cross-sectional view of his career.
Present at the biggest contemporary art fairs — Art Basel, Art Basel Miami, FIAC, Art Brussels, Art Paris, Art on Paper Brussels and FAB Paris — Charles Belle has also been a founding member of the Art Identification Standard (AIS) consortium since 2019.
