"RAINFOREST" Painting

Thierry Vobmann, painter and photographer, is a professional French artist who lives in Brittany, the most westerly place on the European continent. In his studio, he creates paintings on canvas and sculptures in wood and metal.
For more than fourteen years, he has devoted himself almost exclusively to abstract painting because he has set himself the goal of expressing everything that does not have a physical appearance such as sounds, smells, warmth, feelings, the wind … He realized that, finally, most of the factors that govern our lives and our behavior were not visible but noticeable.
Thierry's approach logically was to remove the image of the real to keep only the essential: the pure and universal emotion.

During his first year of work in abstract expressionism, as this style is commonly called, Thierry has developed his own style. It is abstract but in which he slides as often as possible reminiscences of figurative techniques such as perspectives, shadows, and lights. He constantly seeks the balance of volumes, textures, colors, and movements in order to preserve the expression of the feeling.

His works are not smoothed. They are sometimes violent, colorful, and spicy, but always in order to accentuate the desired expressiveness.

During this year of setting up, Thierry, totally immersed in the construction of his art, declares that he began to make dreams. He says, “Sometimes, when I sleep, I receive, as a message, a very precise vision of a work to paint. " Everything is there: the visual, the title, and regularly even the written description of the painting. So I wake up and look for paper and pencil to take notes or sketch because in the morning I will not remember anything.

Thierry also states that it happened to him when he was very calm and tired, because Thierry frequently paints at night to make a painting that, once completed, seems totally foreign to him. He knew he had painted it, but his hand had been guided. At no time had he thought about what he was doing; he had done it.

These dreams and the feeling of being assisted in his creation brought Thierry into the search for a universal energy, a vital energy that governs everything we know and that influences our lives and our decisions.

Thierry's evolution from the representation of the impalpable to universal energy has led him to the experience he is now leading. He seeks to voluntarily connect to these powerful external forces.
