Painted directly outdoors, the work explores reflections, colour vibrations and the shifting relationship between water, light and shadow during a summer day beside the lake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe composition is structured around reflections rather than objects themselves. Trees, figures and the lakeside edge appear only briefly along the upper part of the painting, while most of the surface is devoted to their fragmented presence within the water. The landscape dissolves into reflections, transforming solid forms into shifting fields of colour and light.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThick layers of oil paint create a highly textured surface where each brushstroke becomes part of the visual rhythm of the image. Blues, pale violets, turquoise tones, soft greens and touches of warm colour interact across the water, producing an atmosphere that feels simultaneously luminous and unstable. The reflections seem to break apart and reform, capturing the constant movement of light on Lac Léman.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than depicting a specific view of Lutry, the painting focuses on perception itself. The title \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShades\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e refers not only to shadow but also to subtle tonal variations and fleeting transitions between colour, reflection and atmosphere. The subject becomes the experience of looking into water and watching reality transform into abstract fragments of light.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLutry, located within the Lavaux UNESCO World Heritage landscape, is known for its changing lakeside reflections created by the interaction of water, sky, vegetation and seasonal light. Along the shores of Lac Léman, reflections often become as visually powerful as the landscape itself, creating scenes that continuously shift throughout the day.
