Ondine I, after Ravel, 2024, oil on board, 22 x 30 cm
Ravel's composition Ondine energetically expresses the mystery, temptation and seduction of the poem, Ondine in which a water spirit invites a man to his death, couched as an invitation to become her lover. The foreboding clouds and their deep reflections in this painting capture the drama of the narrative.
"Her song murmured, she beseeched me to accept her ring on my finger,
to be the husband of an Ondine, and to visit her in her palace and be king of the lakes."
Extract from Ondine by Aloysius Bertrand
