Originally, the idea was to reflect about a polar bear swimming in a sea with no icebergs, the worrying changes in climate and the challenges ahead of us. The boat floating in an empty sea, as we deplete the oceans, as we pollute and kill marine life.. So the Dodo is covering up the little sleeping boy to make sure that at least he will still live within the dream. Sleeping under the blanket of innocence. But what is it gonna be like when he grows up? He is gonna turn at us and ask questions. Why did we let this happen? Why did we sit still, knowing everything was slipping very dangerously and we did nothing? Why did we keep the blind consumption knowing pertinently that it was destroying the planet. His mother is taking support on lines of "What are we gonna tell them?" Her baby. His future. The two planets are there to remind us we are just a grain of sand lost in the Universe and still we take for granted this beautiful planet we live on. Look at the beauty. The sound of the waves rolling on the sand. The reflection of the moon rising over the ocean. The purity of Life itself. The smoking islands reflect where I live. Sitting on a burning furnace called the Ring of Fire.. pumping under our feet and spiting smoke through one of the many calderas around us. It's exciting

Internationally award-winning, Olivier Lamboray (1968) is a Belgian Surrealist painter who currently lives in Germany. He has been painting since 1992 and has had many successful exhibitions in Belgium, USA, Monaco, Australia, Italy, England, Germany, France, Thailand, The Netherlands, Indonesia, and Guinea. Painting is my journey and it really defines who I am. Surrealism is at the heart of Belgian culture and since a very young age, I have been fascinated by the magical feeling of the surreal dream. I have been painting for the last 30 years and have traveled the world for many years, living mostly in isolated places, from the Himalayan range to an almost deserted island in the Andaman Sea. Often these were places where time seemed to have stopped and where I could only face my inner self and connect my vision and thoughts inwards to the vital questions. A riddle to solve to find meaning. A path full of experiences, that have progressively shaped my goals and my vision of life but also myself. An intricate maze through the darkness of the mind… And it paved the way to brighten the rest of my life. Over the years, I have developed a very personal style, classical but inviting and full of surprises. It is always positive, nostalgic at times but full of love. Stories from my heart. It pictures a world where I feel really good, where the sky is always blue, where I forget about the reality and the roughness of this world and the gravity that drags us down. I like to levitate elements, to mix things, to romance my stories, to embrace Love like a half-hidden, half-perceived secret. The settings become half-present and half-imaginary, appearing and disappearing, reflecting the impermanence of life and the groundless ground of reality. Is it only a dream, a thought, or a mental construction? Addressing different levels of perception, my style highlights the importance of the spectator and his role in the understanding of this world. Evaporating elements or bricks on some of the walls allow to see through the present and take people to what seems to be another time in space. The evolution of the place itself, from the origin of life to the present moment. Same place, different time. Seeing through the curtain of reality sends me to other times in space and past stories. This brings up feelings that we cannot always understand, those “déjà vu” feelings that we feel deep inside but do not know where they come from or when. The infinity of the soul.
