Olivier O. Olivier, Vogue bold pianist, 2004

“Once the furnace is extinguished, we move on to the raging sea or the ice floe. The idea for Vogue audacieux pianiste came to the painter during an exhibition at the Musée Courbet in Ornans in 2003. The curator asked Olivier to work on the theme of water. For Olivier, this theme inexplicably conjured up that of the piano”. Olivier O. Olivier, Paintings

This highly poetic vision shows a pianist almost submerged by the musical flow of the piece, as if his music might drown him, even though it is he who gives it life.
