La Marseillaise

This painting is from my serie that I called, The Holographic Universe, a serie about the Human Experience.

Being French Canadian and some days Quebecois, I do strongly Identify as French. This painting for me represent a lot what it means.
The background here is of a grouping of sculpture by Francois Rude called “La Marseillaise” on the arc the triumph in Paris.
For me it represent that fire of being French and the feeling that I have to defend my culture my language at all time. The shadow of a tree represent the gentle breeze on a sunny day in love. Its the sweetness of life.
I use glitter here for the sparkle of life special moments and large Swarovski crystals to depict our reality as of an holographic quality.
