Painted directly outdoors, the work explores the delicate relationship between visibility and disappearance, where water, light and atmosphere merge into a landscape of subtle transitions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLutry lies at the entrance of the Lavaux region, a landscape shaped by the meeting of lake, vineyards and sky. Along Lac Léman, fog often transforms familiar views into something quieter and more contemplative. Distances become uncertain, contours soften and the boundary between water and air begins to dissolve. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn this February day, the lake appeared almost transparent beneath layers of mist. Reflections drifted across the water while the fog partially concealed the surrounding landscape, allowing only fragments of light and form to emerge. Rather than obscuring the view completely, the atmosphere revealed a different kind of presence, where space seemed larger, slower and more silent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFog over Swiss lakes is created through subtle interactions between water temperature, air and humidity, producing constantly shifting veils of light and movement above the surface. These transformations can change within minutes, making direct observation essential to the painting process.
