Philippe Monod (pastels)

With pastels from his series “Feelings of Contemplation” and “Enigmas & Sensations”, Philippe Monod expresses his observations, in an intimate diary-like way, of the hidden signs in nature – a secret part of the enigma of life. At swissnex, he will show 26 sometimes large size pastels, after having exhibited in Switzerland, Brussels, Paris, and New York. He lives near Lausanne, Switzerland (www.philippe-monod.ch).
