Christophe Carlier is my cousin in Belgium. This is one of his paintings. Here is a link to the site with information regarding Christophe and his work. Note the site is in French.
From what I gather, as my French is not too good, his paintings are an exploration of his own questions and contemplations. He describes them as a mirror. The state of his heart at the moment.
Maybe at some point I can get some more information directly from him about his work to post here.
Christophe teaches painting at the à l’académie des Beaux Arts d’Etterbeek in Belgium.
