There is Always Light

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, of life and death.

In this painting, behind the striking peak where the subtle clouds are illuminated by the rising sun, there is always light. Although it may be invisible to the eye, whether we see the light or not, it is always there to guide us, and that hope is behind every summit in our lives.

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.
