A meeting under the age of music. A meeting under the age of the gong!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It was during an opening of a painter, in a private house with several floors, in the heart of Paris. Splendid abstract paintings and along with it, a gift of life: the gong. I had never heard the tones in my life and this was a real revelation. Intense emotion, tears fell. A rather embarrassing moment I must admit but there it was and I just had to let it go &#8230; Obviously, the gong acts on stress, anxiety, physical and emotional tiredness. In a way, a universal truth.<\/p>\n<p>And then I made a promise to the musician who kindly offered me a gong CD that lasts an hour. I promised to paint something while listening the gong CD. I never did it, and I thought it was a good idea. So, one day, I prepared a whole new palette with all the pigments I have. I inserted the CD and the magic happened. I had chosen a canvas of a reasonable size to be sure to finish my exercise at the end of the gong CD.<\/p>\n<p>Comfortably seated on my stool, cushioned by a red plaid offered by G\u00e9ant des beaux arts, I take a brush and at the first note, I let my hand and my brush choose the color and then the location on the canvas. And I paint at a gentle and serene pace. Without any thought. All the energy is then free to express itself without shackles, without a model. it\u2019s the perfect time to finally be and live.<\/p>\n<p>I decide, whether or not, to use all the pigments available to me on the palette. I let go. A brushstroke over here, another over there. The painting may be completely abstract, however, faces, shadows, very dark and others of light, however few appear. Is there hope ? I hardly dare to hope so and yet somewhere, is it on the right, the left, or right in the middle, at the end of the tunnel a gleam points its nose. To be completely honest, I&#8217;m having fun. A certain lightness takes hold of me. How sweet it is to let yourself be carried away, taken to an unknown world of colors and fantasy. A whole range of inexplicable possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Would I really dare to show it?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil on canvas \u2013 11,81 x 11,81 inch \u2013 Unique work Once upon a time there was a meeting.
