An explosion of colors, shapes inspired by the diverse and varied landscapes of Réunion Island—step into the imaginative and dreamlike world of Théophile DELAINE’s oil paintings. Mountains, waterfalls, rivers, and oceans come together on the canvas in powerful yet subtle collages that reveal abstract landscapes unlike any others.
"It's what I find that tells me what I'm looking for"

Correspondences

Nature is a temple in which living pillars
Sometimes give voice to confused words;
Man passes there through forests of symbols
Which look at him with understanding eyes.
Like prolonged echoes mingling in the distance
In a deep and tenebrous unity,
Vast as the dark of night and as the light of day,
Perfumes, sounds, and colors correspond.
There are perfumes as cool as the flesh of children,
Sweet as oboes, green as meadows
— And others are corrupt, and rich, triumphant,
With power to expand into infinity,
Like amber and incense, musk, benzoin,
That sing the ecstasy of the soul and senses.
Charles Baudelaire
Contemplation
A series of abstract paintings dedicated to the passivity necessary to feel and perceive the beauty of the world, far from the tumult and psychoses of all kinds. Wind, nature, color, storms, oceans and mountains as they are, without asking questions, to find in them the depth of inner calm without which there is no meaning to it all.
About
After years of artistic and musical studies in Paris, Théophile Delaine paints in various places around the world, wherever inspiration takes him. From his native Champagne to Crete, from Limousin to Benin and after years in Madagascar he moved to Reunion Island to devote himself fully to his art.
The song of the world
It's the story of a man walking around. From one country to another, from one encounter to another, he evolves, adapting his gaze to the situations and landscapes he encounters, sometimes stopping for a long time to contemplate the world that is also changing.
It is a story in colorful impressions, the road books of an inner adventure, the snapshots of a wanderer's soul.

The spirit of the island
Series
During the walks in the nature of Reunion Island, thoughts also wander during the walk.
