Fullness

Fifth and final work in a series which seeks to express the anxieties, the questions, the doubts, the beginnings of answers in our relationship to the world.
The small touches of purple in the work "Expansion", symbols of plenitude, have spread, taking with them the benevolence symbolized by the more or less bright blue colors. Their propagation and mixing with the red of the lava occurs smoothly, just like the knife which slides across the canvas in long, peaceful movements creating flat areas of color. Continuing this idea, round shapes appear embellished with brilliant sparkles, like the little pleasures that fuel our fullness, our well-being, our life. The images encapsulated in bubbles depict more precisely the artist's little joys: the fig tree in his grandmother's garden, the subject of Christmas on his parents' tree, the hair that twirls in the wind, the wax candles bee... An osmosis, a well-being which voluntarily opposes the graphics of previous works which were filled with doubt and questioning.

Collage is a liberating medium for the artist Christine Barone, when she wishes to express sensations, inner and violent feelings; when words and figurative forms are no longer sufficient, when they confine and reduce one's intuition.
Freed from concepts, preconceived images and all judgment, the material, mixed with color, becomes cathartic expression.
