A Line in the Dark

As an ardent climber, Coralie explores in her art the themes of permanence, adapting to change and letting go. Using the mountains and the skies and sun cycles as symbols, these natural elements are metaphors for the need to observe and respect Mother Nature in the face of overwhelming changes that one experiences in life, the acceptance of letting go of the past and starting again, and of life and death. In this "Into the night" series, Coralie explores the theme of night time landscapes as a journey into one's own darkness:

Follow the lit line
The shimmering edge
Find the way through the layers
Find the way to the summits
Holding onto the fine thread

All the sides of the canvas are meticulously painted as a continuation of the image. It is best hung without a frame to display the unique edges which gives the painting an eye-catching 3-D dimension.
