Acrylic on 3D canvas – 80 x 80 cm
Painted edges – artwork created in 2018
In the heart of the Cantal region, a red steel ribbon cleaves through verdant valleys and embraces the sky. Garabit, a marvel of engineering and elegance, here celebrates its 130th anniversary in a symphony of luminous points and vibrant greens.
On this patiently crafted canvas, every tree, every path, every reflection of the Truyère river emerges from an infinite dance of small gestures. Beneath the artist's fingers, nature unfolds as a living mosaic, teeming with details and light. The viaduct, imposing yet ethereal, soars above the river like a delicate giant, rising within the poetry of the landscape.
Painted partially on site, under the gaze of visitors who came to celebrate this unique anniversary, this artwork carries within it the thrill of the moment: the tension of the final stroke, shared emotion, and the vibrant joy of a public creation, rare and precious.
Today, Garabit continues its journey, a silent guardian of a memory of celebration, patience, and friendship, immortalized by the artist's passionate hand.
