About the Item
In this abstract painting, Pierre Morquin pays tribute to Aboriginal art. The bright, contrasting colours and simple, repeated geometric shapes create an impression of movement and dynamism.
The painting evokes a natural landscape, a wild and mysterious land. You can see hills, valleys, rivers, trees and animals. But it is also possible to see a map, a territory to be explored.
The work is a tribute to the culture and traditions of the Aboriginal peoples. It reminds us of the importance of nature and spirituality.
An abstract landscape that evokes nature, spirituality and adventure.

Using different techniques (acrylic, spray, oil pastels, charcoals) and supports (coated canvas or not, assembled wood) I trace my path between abstract expressionism, a decisive Aboriginal inspiration, modern influences, urban and my youth in Africa. It is a set of contemporary painters who, through Hélène Frankenthaler, Cy Twombly, Basquiat, Kikuo Saito to Oscar Murillo, Joe Bradley, Ida Ekblad, André Butzer..., inspires me. When I paint I make incursions into my reason, my knowledge and then I let myself be carried away by shapes, colors and emotion. The painting then comes of itself, a form by leading to another, a color by calling another until an imbalance of tasks and traits speaks to me and finally satisfies (but momentarily...) the hope that creation has generated in me.
As the idea is and remains intuitive, the artist is not aware in abstracto of the intention and purpose of his work: it is not a concept, but an idea that guides him: so he cannot give any explanation of his way of doing things: he works, as we say unconsciously, actually instinctively.”
Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation

- "Loud Silence" floral large paintingLocated in Zofingen, AGAbstract textured acrylic painting on canvas 100x100x4 cm (39,4 x39,4 x 1,6 inches). Mixed Media on gallery wrapped canvas. The work is ready to hang. No framing required. The sides of the work are painted. The artwork is signed, dated and titled. Original artwork with signed Certificate of Authenticity. My artworks are a result of years of studying spiritual books written by Eckhart Tolle. Eckhart Tolle, a spiritual teacher and author, often uses flowers as a metaphor for living in the present moment, which is a central concept in his philosophy. He notes that a flower doesn't think about the past or the future; it simply exists in the present moment, fully expressing its beauty and essence. By observing and appreciating a flower, we can learn to live more fully in the present moment and experience the beauty of life around us. In Tolle's view, flowers can also remind us of the interconnectedness of all things. A flower is not separate from its environment; it relies on the sun, the soil, and other elements to grow and thrive. Similarly, we are not separate from the world around us; we are part of a larger interconnected web of life. By recognizing this interconnectedness, we can develop a greater sense of empathy and compassion for all living beings. Overall, flowers can serve as a powerful symbol and reminder of important concepts in art and spirituality. Whether we are admiring a beautiful flower in a painting or contemplating the lessons that flowers can teach us, they can help us connect with the beauty and interconnectedness of the world around us. I would like to invite you to immerse yourselves in a colorful yet calm world of impasto colors full of meditative floral magic. Style: My technique shows some influence from abstract expressionism and modern art. I use original mixed media in which undiluted acrylic paint, ink, gel medium and structure paste are applied to the canvas. I like to paint impasto abstract paintings...Category
