“La baleine”, a piece from the ‘Primary’ series, is a 60cm x 50cm canvas that brings the serene splendor of the deep blue to life. With a moonlit sky casting its glow over the tranquil sea, Joseph Delmeire’s painting is a hymn to the ocean’s depths and the creatures that inhabit them. The singular, upturned tail of the whale, breaching the water’s surface, speaks of the mystery and the quiet power that the ocean holds within its vast embrace.

Delmeire, in his artistic expression, often seeks to harmonize the grandeur of nature with the spiritual journey of man. “La baleine” is reflective of this pursuit, the mammal’s gentle emergence a symbol for the depth of the soul and the silent strength that lies beneath the surface of our own existence. The painting is an invitation to look beyond the horizon, to the unexplored territories of the world and the self.

This piece is more than a visual spectacle; it is a contemplation of grace and might, encouraging viewers to find the same balance in their lives. “La baleine” embodies the dance of the ocean’s nocturnal symphony, a reminder of the subtle yet profound connections between all living beings and the natural world we share.
