Sinai
A substantial acrylic painting on canvas, sized at 70 x 70 inches, embodies the spirit of Jean Pierre Rousselet's work. The artwork delves into the significance of Sinai as the connecting link between Asia and Africa, depicting the arid expanse bathed in the vibrant hues of Egyptian turquoise. It captures the essence of the Old Testament's 40 years of wandering, with Sinai serving as the historical backdrop.
Within the Sinai painting, one encounters the brilliance of Moses' burning bush and the allure of the "worshipped" calf, skillfully rendered through a palette that harmonizes the luminosity of the former with the golden tones associated with the latter. This piece serves as a celebratory ode to the desert journey, symbolized by intricate gold twisted lines that traverse the canvas, beautifully embodying the path through the arid expanse.
