Corn dream

Oil Painting. 60 X 60 cm- 2018

The artist's face is here "melted" in the center of a richly ornamented golden mask. It is a soothing face that seems immersed in deep meditation. This solar mask radiates on multicolored ears of corn coveted by a set of colorful birds competing for beauty. But what are these birds waiting for to feed on the ears within reach? A sign, an authorization of the mask to which they would be subjected and which, on waking, would put an end to the growth of corn? This painting evokes a Mayan version of the garden of the Hesperides where the ears replace the golden apples and where the birds are so many deities, only allowed to taste the grains offering fertility and immortality.
