Coral Symphony
by Thierry B.
"Creating the Coral series isn't just about painting; it's about capturing the essence of my deep connection with nature's beauty. Each piece is a vibrant meditation frozen in time, a reminder that the world's wonders can be held in the palm of your hand, and their beauty shared for generations to come.”

Thierry B’s Coral series emerges as an exquisite testament to his profound encounter with the underwater realm of Australia’s Gold Coast. Emanating from his inaugural snorkelling and diving sojourn, the series encapsulates the artist’s reverential contemplation of nature’s recurring motifs. These motifs, ingeniously translated onto canvas, serve as conduits for deeper ruminations – a contemplative voyage that resonates with meditative profundity.
With a deft and hands-on approach, Thierry B orchestrates a symphony of refined lightness across the series. This distinct technique, honed over two decades, endows each artwork with an ephemeral buoyancy, echoing the sensation of water caressing the skin. The palette employed, vibrant and dynamic, masterfully encapsulates the euphoria of immersion within the natural world, transmuting mere pigments intovisceral sensations. The Coral series, a visual paean to the symbiotic relationship between repetition and meditation, beckons the observer to transcend the mundane. It beckons them to tread lightly upon the canvas of existence, each stroke a testament to leaving an enduring impression upon the fabric of reality. A narrative spun in chromatic splendour, this series encapsulates the very essence of vitality, a transientmoment crystallized.
For almost two decades, Thierry B’s Coral series has unfailingly captivated connoisseurs and novices alike. It stands as a timeless testament to the artist’s visionary prowess, weaving an intricate tapestry that deftly melds nature’s harmonious iterations with the artist’s contemplative oeuvre. In basking in the Coral series, one is invited to partake in an aesthetic communion – an immersion into the ineffable, where art becomes a vessel for experiencing the sublime.
