" I would rather form my soul than to pad it out. "
Michel de Montaigne
___________________________________________________________________ | |
|  | Once upon a time, in the middle of France, a young man was running through the forest near his village. He lost his way, blinded by the snow and darkness of the night. He stopped to ask directions from an old gardener. The young man told the intrigued gardener that he was running to look at the wooden cross, hidden in the forest at the top of the mountain, because he just had to see it one more time...
The young man left his village and moved to Paris, where, for the next decade, he immersed himself in the artistic culture of the French capital, searching always for another cross like the one by his village. He found himself driven by an insatiable passion for Art and Life.
Then, one day, quite unexpectedly, he had a revelation: it was another land, on the other side of the world, calling for him.
All of his knowledge combined and led to a new quest for the maturity of his soul. The music he had studied in his village sang in his ears, the beautiful vistas called out to his training in the visual arts and last, but by no means least, the urge to carve his dreams into the vast old growth forests of British Columbia consumed his will.
The inspiration of this new land, its cultures and its languages has pushed our young artist beyond his previous limits. Mastering the magic of his style and elevating his work to greater heights, he launched into his new city, Vancouver, where he has united vitality with modernism. Since these auspicious beginnings, his creativity has skyrocketed. The excitement and joy of each new discovery have infused his spirit with unique experiences. His lively and inspiring style is eerily reminiscent of scientific models created by the renaissance masters.
The artist has found his cross on the pinnacle of the mountain and the ecstasy of that cognition has seeped into his art.
Our Artist is Antony Rolland. Passionate, dreamy, inventive. Come and explore his world… |
