Description

“Stairway to Heaven” conveys the idea of a path taken step by step toward something sacred. The artist introduces an almost childlike dimension to this journey: heaven is no longer an inaccessible mystery.

The work is presented in a Baroque wooden frame.

The choice of frame deliberately contrasts with the abstract purity of the central motif. On one side, simplicity and the dizzying sense of infinity; on the other, the exuberance of the finite, the material and the decorative. This contrast creates a subtle tension between conceptual abstraction and the legacy of classical art.

Bio

Nathanaël Koffi is a painter and visual artist whose practice unfolds across a variety of media. He repurposes forgotten objects, transforming them to elevate and re-enchant the world around him. The intuitive impulse that drives his work is balanced by the precision and discipline inherent in his use of color and in the execution of each piece.

Working within a highly abstract approach, he explores variations in color and pattern, seeking out tonal harmonies, forms, textures, and materiality.

He works freely, without sketches or prior preparation. His compositions emerge spontaneously, created in the immediacy of the moment.

"Freedom in my work reflects the freedom of my mind, which I translate into my creations. The viewer is free to interpret the work in their own way, according to their own frame of reference. The perception of the artwork belongs to them. It is an exchange: I create with spontaneity, and the audience is invited to experience it with the same sense of freedom."
