Second portrait of Otomè Efira, during our reunion in Nagoya in October 2000. “Yesterday evening, holding my breath, forgetting that every moment is blood in the white grains of happiness between her red lips, I drank her satin beauty, drop by drop, like an immensity to be grasped scattered on the mirrors of her flesh fresh. Her skin was soft but still cold like 20 years ago. I am there, there is no doubt, it is her, it is indeed her, she has not changed ... ”(Extract from my workshop diary of Saturday, October 7, 2000). Amber painting on canvas mounted on panel. Varnished and ready to hang. Signature on the back. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Deuxième portrait d’Otomè Efira, lors de nos retrouvailles à Nagoya en octobre 2000. “Hier soir, retenant ma respiration, oubliant que chaque instant est du sang dans les grains de bonheur blanc entre ses lèvres rouges, j’ai bu sa beauté satinée, goutte à goutte, comme une immensité à saisir éparpillée sur les miroirs de sa chair fraîche. Sa peau était douce mais toujours froide comme il y a 20 ans. J’y suis, il n’y a pas de doute, c’est elle, c’est bien elle, elle n’a pas changé...” (Extrait de mon journal d’atelier du samedi 7 octobre 2000).

Born in 1948 in Belgium, Daniel de Saint-Yon is a Belgian writer and portraitist living and working in the countryside near Spa. He graduated as an philosopher from FUNDP in Namur and lived as an artist 16 years in Japan (until 1990). His work has been regularly exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Belgium and Japan. Staying receptive to the history and the cultural interaction between Europe and Japan is one of his main concern. Moline’s creative process starts with sketches and drawing from life on the canvas. He paints mostly portraits (mainly women), spending a great deal of time with each subject, a rapport with his model being necessary to work. He tried several mediums but somehow always returns to amber as he finds it the ideal and enigmatic partner adapted to his needs of expression. This light oily substance of rare purity and beautiful transparency takes some days to dry out, but brightens tonnes and offers remarkable elasticity. Several thin layers of extra-fine paint will sustain for ever the ardour an bloom of color fields with strong visual impact. A patient process for a unique result ! Moline’s artistic career ( by Emmanuelle Dubuisson, in french) : « Peintre de figures, de portraits et de grandes compositions dans un style fortement graphique. Formation à Namur en Belgique avec Luc Perot, puis au Japon où il étudie la décoration et devient l'élève du Maître Ryû Oda. Il pratique ensuite la calligraphie avec le moine zen Tainin Yukimura dans un temple à Shobara. Lauréat en 1984 du concours du Kansaï à Kyoto, il participe à plusieurs expositions à Tokyo, Kyoto et Kobe, où il séjournera seize ans (1973-1990). Conjuguant les approches orientales et occidentales, sa démarche picturale sʼinscrit alors en de larges compositions volcaniques où trônent dʼépais personnages au graphisme vigoureux et dont lʼénergie vitale fait ressortir une violence expressive. Lʼœuvre porte aussi les traces dʼune calligraphie pratiquée chez les moines bouddhistes, qui se mêlent aux formes nues dans un foisonnement de taches de couleur, de courbes douces et dʼentrelacements surprenants. On y retrouve aussi des traits communs avec lʼœuvre du peintre japonais Shôhaku. Les sujets, liés au corps, souvent nus, évoquent accouchements, accouplements ou corps doubles, et allient, dans un mélange de tout et de néant, tendresse et cruauté. Comme si la violence de ces figures s'accompagnait toujours dʼune bienveillance retenue envers la vie.
