About The Artwork

Portrait of Otomè Efira, an 18-year-old Japanese girl. This icon painting is primarily an expression of the beauty of an important person in my life. “Fifth pose session with Otomè. I never take my eyes off her and wonder in my heart - but how can she be so beautiful? The face comes with an unexpected lightness under the hair of the brushes, the goal achieved after so many years? No, it remains difficult to put the seen together on the canvas, the colours do not come out, the impression of being below everything. Too stressed ? Afraid of losing? it is very bad. For lack of precise form, I flounder and I loose my control. And yet it is important to note, compose, insist on what is obstructing, or at least try to advance and reach the goal by using trickery and trickery ... Where does this particular light come from in it? How to pluck your face without damaging your eyes?" (Extract from my diary of Saturday April 9, 1977). Amber painting on canvas. Portrait d’Otomè Efira, une jeune japonaise de 18 ans. Cette peinture d’icône est d'abord l’expression de la beauté d’une personne importante dans ma vie. “5ème séance de pose avec Otomè. Je ne la lâche plus des yeux en me demandant dans mon for intérieur - mais comment peut-elle être aussi belle ? Le visage advient avec une légèreté inespérée sous le poil des pinceaux, le but atteint après tant d’années ? Non, il reste difficile de mettre ensemble le vu sur la toile, les couleurs ne sortent pas, impression d'être en dessous de tout. Trop pressé ? Peur de perdre ? c'est très mauvais. Faute de forme précise, je patauge et je perds ma maîtrise. Et pourtant il faut bien noter, composer, insister sur ce qui fait obstacle, ou du moins essayer d’avancer et d'atteindre le but en usant de supercheries et de ruses... D’où vient cette lumière particulière en elle ? Comment cueillir son visage sans abîmer ses yeux ? (Extrait de mon journal d'atelier du 9 avril 1977). Peinture à l’ambre sur toile.

Born in 1948 in Belgium, Daniel Moline de Saint-Yon is a Belgian writer and portraitist living and working in the countryside near Spa. He graduated as an philosopher from FUNDP in Namur and lived as an artist 16 years in Japan (until 1990). His work has been regularly exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Belgium and Japan. Staying receptive to the history and the cultural interaction between Europe and Japan is one of his main concern. Moline’s creative process starts with sketches and drawing from life on the canvas. He paints mostly portraits (mainly women), spending a great deal of time with each subject, a rapport with his model being necessary to work. He tried several mediums but somehow always returns to amber as he finds it the ideal and enigmatic partner adapted to his needs of expression. This light oily substance of rare purity and beautiful transparency takes some days to dry out, but brightens tonnes and offers remarkable elasticity. Several thin layers of extra-fine paint will sustain for ever the ardour an bloom of color fields with strong visual impact. A patient process for a unique result ! Moline’s artistic career ( by Emmanuelle Dubuisson, in french) : « Peintre de figures, de portraits et de grandes compositions dans un style fortement graphique. Formation à Namur en Belgique avec Luc Perot, puis au Japon où il étudie la décoration et devient l'élève du Maître Ryû Oda. Il pratique ensuite la calligraphie avec le moine zen Tainin Yukimura dans un temple à Shobara. Lauréat en 1984 du concours du Kansaï à Kyoto, il participe à plusieurs expositions à Tokyo, Kyoto et Kobe, où il séjournera seize ans (1973-1990). Conjuguant les approches orientales et occidentales, sa démarche picturale sʼinscrit alors en de larges compositions volcaniques où trônent dʼépais personnages au graphisme vigoureux et dont lʼénergie vitale fait ressortir une violence expressive. Lʼœuvre porte aussi les traces dʼune calligraphie pratiquée chez les moines bouddhistes, qui se mêlent aux formes nues dans un foisonnement de taches de couleur, de courbes douces et dʼentrelacements surprenants. On y retrouve aussi des traits communs avec lʼœuvre du peintre japonais Shôhaku. Les sujets, liés au corps, souvent nus, évoquent accouchements, accouplements ou corps doubles, et allient, dans un mélange de tout et de néant, tendresse et cruauté. Comme si la violence de ces figures s'accompagnait toujours dʼune bienveillance retenue envers la vie.
