The mountain is round and gentle. On these two canvases, the landscape is finely drawn in a graphic style. It's a sophisticated mosaic, a path of life whose complexity reveals a thousand possibilities. People walk along this path illuminated by the rays of the yellow and gold canvas. The way seems clearly marked on the round mountain, but to its luminous simplicity responds the shadow of the dark canvas, splattered by the diffraction of primary colors. It depicts the endless palette of emotions, everything that gives life its salt and colors, revealed in the part of the shadow.

Mountains are like hills with lines that show paths. The yellow mountain is full of light, with golden sun rays showing where to go. But on the dark mountain, all the colors mix together. You don’t know which path to take, and you feel lots of different emotions. But even if they aren't always comfortable, these emotions make life more beautiful and help us grow.
