About this artwork
the breathing of life by a ray of light!
It's not hard to guess that this creation is heavily imbued with symbolism. In this work, we see a mother-to-be. Her face is intentionally in shadow, as I wanted her to represent all mothers who have the gift of life. This gift is symbolized by the candle the mother-to-be holds in her right hand, and as the title of the work suggests, the ray of light from the candle becomes the vital influx that eventually… falls on her rounded belly.
The presence of a character lit only by a candle in a relatively simple setting is reminiscent of the works of Georges de la Tour, which I discovered at the age of 11 during an exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris and which have greatly influenced my work since.
I highlighted this ray of life even more with a visible UV effect using a UV lamp.
François Chevalier, a geological engineer by training, is a self-taught artist who mainly creates pictorial works in a hyperrealist style, most of which use the play of light in the manner of chiaroscuro. His main aspiration can be summed up as follows: to capture a moment in life that has touched him and to disseminate, more or less directly, an idea, in the tradition of symbolism, which can sometimes lead to scenes that are part of the imagination. He also indulges in stone sculpture, allowing him to free his imagination by shaping figures from any form.
