The subject of Series 2 : here we're in a different temporality from Series 1 : we're in the one before or after our incarnation. Where is the soul/consciousness physically on the picture ? Have you recognized it ? It's free, it has a body with more possibilities and a wider view of the universe and life.
Inspiration : I've been a passionate photographer for many years, especially in ultra-macro photography, and every year I spend a lot of my free time exploring the Alps. It's in these immersions in the heart of the forests that I find biological elements, biomorphics elements, colors, or natural phenomena like erosion linked to water, earth and wind that I transpose into this Series 2 painting, to produce moving and free paintings.
Design : how is this Series 2 of paintings created ? I make most of my wooden painting supports in my workshop, because my painting technique and the tools I've made don't allow me to paint on a flexible surface like canvas. In addition, commercially available stretchers tend to deform over time and with temperature variations, so I want my work to last through generations and centuries. Every painting begins with a sketch on paper, then I apply layer after layer of pigments, mediums and acrylics, where each composition is scrupulously detailed, weighed and recorded in a notebook.
My paintings are shipped around the world with the greatest care from my art studio in the Alps. All paintings are signed on the back and have a reference number also written on the back of the work. All paintings come with a certificate of authenticity and an invoice. On request, I can create an exceptional piece adapted to your interior spaces, your favorite colors, your dimensions and your budget. You can pay in several installments on my website : www.christopherschmittartist.com
