This canvas shows the contrast between the cultivated parts of the grounds and the wild parts. The drought has been raging for several years in this part of Chile, and nature is suffering. On the other hand, large farms (which grow grapes, oranges, avocados, pomegranates) have access to water reserves (deep wells). I built the composition from one of my photos, highlighting the different plans. In the distance the southern mountains (some are astronomical sites supporting the most powerful telescopes in the world). The color becomes more and more precise as it gets closer to the foreground. Then there is the great cut of the cultivated areas on the right, and finally on the left and in the center the edge of the ravine where there is drought, stones, cactuses dying or dead, bushes burned by the sun. I think I have arrived at a good balance in the composition, the bush in the foreground being the pivot.

I'm a French painter and engraver, born 1954, living en Chile for 12 years. The required level of skill to make good etchings allowed me to become a more demanding paintor. I like the technical challenges of painting and engraving. I have been teaching painting in Chile for 10 years. Figuration for etching, hyperrealism and expressionist abstraction for painting are what I prefer to do. Engraving: My work is done in at least two stages: a plate for the image support, and another for tattoos. This superposition allows me to create encounters between cultures that have never met (example: the mask of Tutankamon with Ashentis tattoos). My goal tends to renew the view that the viewer has on the various elements. Abstract painting: The Chilean culture made me know runes, which have lost their original meanings and acquired here a magical dimension. I abstractly report the magical meaning of these runes. Hyperrealism: In my landscape paintings (I fell in love with pampas and Chilean deserts) I try to erase the effects specific to photography rather than trying to approach a photographic rendering. I do not want people saying "it looks like a picture" but "it looks like reality". But as nature does not care much about pictorial rendering, the reality is rarely as it appears on the painting. Especially since I usually add a detail denoting the human presence.
