In "Mirage", I blend the warm, lively scenes of the Cote d'Azur with a surreal ice glacier intrusion, capturing the juxtaposition of familiar summer warmth against the stark and imposing chill. Using oil, wax, and resin, I emphasize textures and depths, creating a visual dialogue between reality and fantasy—inviting the viewer to ponder nature's unexpected contrasts and our perceptions of permanence.
