A curation by Rose Boutboul, Independent Curator at - This selection highlights the mineral power and serenity of mountain peaks through an approach that blends contemplation and abstraction. Entitled Ascensions, it explores the mountain not only as a physical landscape but also as a spiritual space of verticality and self-transcendence. The subjects range from panoramic views of snow-capped ridges and high-altitude forests to more abstract compositions where the geometric forms of the terrain become mental constructs. The overall materiality plays on contrasts to convey the power of the elements. Oil and acrylic on canvas are often worked in dense textures or with impasto to evoke the roughness of the rock, sometimes enhanced by touches of gold leaf. These pictorial techniques coexist with the delicacy of watercolor on paper and the precision of photography, whether digital or film, capturing the stillness of the snow and the interplay of light on the cliffs. Finally, the use of modern supports such as acrylic on glass or digital on paper underscores the contemporary vision of these timeless landscapes.
