Christophe Tardy is a photographer, author and director. He made the documentary "Where the time has stopped", a slice of the life of Claudius, an old peasant who lives near me and whom I meet quite often. A wise. We are talking about time, people and life. Christophe provided me with some extracts of great beauty and in the chiaroscuro from which I was able to create this canvas in my turn. As often, one of my texts accompanies the painting: "To speak of the world, of the time which runs, of the snow which will come this evening or in the night, of the hay which misses and of the water which rises. To speak of the cold wind, summers that promise to be hot, the last calving and the always too expensive veterinarian. Speaking to say without saying to yourself, with words that betray the intimate lurking in the blue of the eyes, in the corners of the lips, in a wrinkle that shuddered near an ancient dimple. Talking little things that say it all. And then smile. "
