Why are you looking at me? Are you looking at me? At you? Maybe a little of both, you look at me to look at you.
So what do you see?

Read MoreThis thing about ears that seem to miss for some people. While for others, they even noticed that they don’t appear.
It fascinates me.
It was at first an unconscious choice as if intuitively I knew that ears don’t do everything.
Finally, little by little, it was a real choice from me. I think that ears are too obvious for equestrian people, I don’t want them to be focused on them too much. I want them to be able to really feel what the horse sends back to them as a sensation. Because that feeling can change from one day to another.
Sometimes, the horse will be serene, other times, he’ll be curious or a bit intrigued. If I would have painted the ears, there wouldn’t be this infinite possibility.
The last thing is that the central point in my portraits is the eyes. I want the focus to be on the eyes. They tell so much.
🙉 The question for you is: is this horse doesn’t allow you to feel something, even without ears?

What if they could talk to you, what would they tell you?
The message of the day from these three horses or from the painting… what if it was a bit of both?
“I look at myself and I look at you. I’m one at the same time as the other two. I’m not aware of myself and yet I am. I’m there with the others. I am according to the others. I’m one and at the same time I’m the herd, like the drop of water and the ocean.
Look at yourself as we look at each other, without judgment, without preconceived ideas. For a moment, look at the other as if they are a part of you too. You are also one but also a herd of human beings. You are a drop of water and you are also the ocean.”

True story that I’m sure you’d share with me 😬

… Most of the time quietly but with energy, without even touching the other.
With just the dance of the ears, the ballet of the tail, the harmonious but efficient choreography of the body… they’ll understand that everyone has their own place and should keep it.
For the health and balance of the herd…

The hierarchy at first it’s like a dance. Each looks to the other, each spy on the other from out of the corner of their eyes…
At one time or another, one will take the lead and would explain to the other that he/she is the boss…

Sometimes words are not needed. Just feel the picture, enter into the painting, experience the emotions felt, go through the colors, beyond the lines and surface… and let all those emotions surface without analyzing them, just feel et let them live and go.
🌟 If you want, tell me what did you feel?

I was born almost in a single gesture, quick and lively like me at a gallop.
I come from the earth, ochre and sienna, golden and warm.
I move in silence under the water and the mud, barely sketched but very much alive.
Besides, I’m so lively that you’re hardly noticed me under my fuzzy outlines but sufficiently precise to distinguish my ardor and my joy of living, this vital impulse that I know lurks deep inside me.
I’m the earth and the sky that I touch with my forehead.

Maïlys asked me to do the portrait of her horse, Utawa. Started a beautiful adventure because finally, it was not just a portrait, it was more than a portrait, something bigger.
It’s not the first time I tell you about the sensation sometimes I feel during the process of creation of a painting, especially with passed away horses. A feeling of love, a deep sensation of well-being.
I know deep down that I have something to do with that, I know how I can find unconsciously emotions in the horses I paint. Many collectors or fans told me that I paint the soul of the animal.
Then, Quantum Communication crossed my path. I felt so called by this irresistibly. I know now that one way or another I’ve always “communicate” with the horses I’ve paint or even the painting itself.
I feel so connected to them 🧡
Now I’m in the middle of the training course of the @communicationquantique and I’ve made my first “official” communication with Utawa:
🌟—
Who am I ?
I am the keeper of the herd. I love my new Guardian as much as she loves me. I’m a little joker in my spare time who likes to do some silly things, Rascal could have been my middle name. I don’t like to be bored, I like it when things move.
Do you have a message?
I am strong and endure the pain, I am always there if the emotions are too strong, I help to digest them. I like massages and hugs which also help to convey emotions. In the hollow of my auburn dress, I console and give a little of my power.
🌟—
The best part was the reaction of Maïlys, her owner. She totally recognized his horse through his words, she was very moved (and me as well!).
All this is like a puzzle for me during all these years of my art practice. I know now why you feel so many things in front of my paintings, all makes sense.
Thank you.
Read MoreOut of age horse, frozen in marble, an absolute symbol of the eternal. This horse will have lived several times: his own life, that of the painter as well as all those of the artists who were inspired by it.
An invisible link that multiplies lives to infinity, an invisible link with artists from several eras, each with their own vision of their time. Symbol of freedom behind a canvas and brushes. Everything is intertwined: life, artwork, time, space.
I continue this thread, I weave at my level this invisible link with this painting of Alfred de Dreux as a reference.
Who will continue this thread? 🧡
