ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The title of this work comes from Plato's Republic. When the enslaved manage to escape the cave of shadows and enter into the light of reality, they need someone to help them come up 'the rough ascent'. The full force of reality is blinding to anyone who has been kept in delusion for all of their lives, tricked into thinking shadows on the wall are real and not comprehending their imprisonment. Plato here tries to demonstrate in this analogy the difference between the two realms: form and ideal. The background in this painting is not brilliant light but light through dim comprehension. It pinpoints the beginning of the rough ascent.

My art is primarily organic abstraction, often portraying surreal and softened landscapes. A dream or nebulous quality marks both transitions and compositions. This is derived from a mode of life, which is rooted in inner stillness. I live in South West France, surrounded by tranquil forests. That quietness of being is what I strive for in my studio. I paint without distraction, so that I can fully connect with what I am creating. The more I can remove myself from the process, the better the work. I only paint in oils as they give such wonderful luminosity and I prefer large scale pieces for freedom of mind.
