"Le refuge du misanthrope" is the first opus of the series entitled "Chrysalide" devoted to withdrawal, to loneliness with a view to future fulfillment. This essentially blue abstract lyrical canvas invites us to calm, serenity, it is a fetus, a cocoon, the refuge of a soul in the making. This is a painting done in March 2023 on linen canvas with high quality Leroux colors. It is signed lower right and dated and signed on the back.

Theophile Delaine, The misanthrope's refuge
France  • 1969

Presentation

Artist Statement:

 

After artistic studies at Paris, I have been painting in various parts of the world for more than 20 years. From my native Champagne to Crete, Limousin to Benin and after ten years in Madagascar, i have been living in the Reunion island where the varied landscapes are a great inspiration.

Through all the shapes and colors existing in nature, i try to decipher the messages, the vibratory language, by using them as a pure mode of expression, beyond the symbolic, beyond what is recognizable as an object, beyond words, beyond what we can see.

Each of my paintings is a representation of the questions I ask myself, doubts and discoveries, a slice of the experience of my feelings, a graphic interrogation of our existence and our essence.
These are snapshots of my soul.

I paint the world as i perceive it in its mystery.
