For Patrick Piccinelli; summer nights symbolize both gentleness and violence. A sweetness of life; a different rhythm; the "dolce vita"; with at the same time the night storms so sudden and extreme!This balance; these contrasts are found in this composition. This work on canvas expresses by its geometric structure the calm of hot summer days. on the other hand; the sensitive traces of the brush bring a rupture similar to a violent storm bursting in the middle of a peaceful night.This composition refers to the musical work of Felix Mendelssohn composed for the comedy of William Shakespeare.Violet and blue shades express the shadows of the night. The large light blue trace can evoke the diffuse noises of the forest during the night; something is happening but we don't know exactly what. Bursts of red-orange tones recall the last glimmers of the setting sun.
