This painting invites us to explore an inner journey, both visually and symbolically. The forest, majestic and imposing, rises on a steep slope, evoking the summits we aspire to reach in life. “Ascension” is therefore an ode to the pursuit of dreams and the quest for what sometimes seems out of reach.
This work illustrates resilience in the face of adversity, and celebrates the perseverance that drives us forward, step by step, even when the road is difficult. It invites viewers to imagine their own aspirations and remember that every step counts, even the most hesitant. The contrast between the density of the vegetation in the foreground and the softness of the light in the background underlines this duality between present effort and future reward.
Whether you're at the start of your journey or close to the summit, “Ascension” reminds you that the key lies in believing in your dreams and in your ability to overcome every obstacle. The summit is there, within reach of your heart and will.

In each of my tree portraits, I integrate small pieces of real bark. They are a tangible reminder of the precious and fragile co-presence between man and nature.
