I had the pleasure of visiting the exhibition dedicated to Félix Vallotton at the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne, and I wanted to share this beautiful cultural experience. Born in Lausanne, Vallotton holds a unique place in late 19th-century art: bold, observant, and remarkably modern.

La synesthésie fut pour Kandinsky une porte d’entrée vers l’abstraction, une manière de libérer la peinture du réel pour en faire un équivalent visuel de la musique. En écoutant ses toiles comme on écouterait une symphonie, on découvre que l’art peut être bien plus qu’une image : une expérience sensorielle totale, une vibration entre le son, la couleur et l’âme.

The Fondation Pierre Gianadda in Martigny offers a striking immersion into the world of Francis Bacon (1909-1992) with the exhibition Francis Bacon: Human Presence, in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery, London. A painter of violence and raw emotion, Bacon redefined portraiture, exploring the fragility of existence and the distortion of the human form.

During my last trip to Tokyo, I discovered the fascinating world of Shiota Chiharu while visiting the Mori Art Museum. Unfortunately, her massive retrospective The Soul Trembles had already ended, but I was able to grasp its essence through the exhibition’s catalog book and two prints displayed in the museum shop. This glimpse was enough to captivate me and drive me to delve into her work.
