My family is a big mix of scientists and artists, ballet being part of the melting pot. That family branch is probably to blame for my fascination with Degas and Lautrec.
I have always seen the ballerina theme as an expression of elegance and classicism, yet those artists never failed to express the harshness surrounding such grace. The subjects where beautiful and absorbed, yet the strokes where rough and intense, revealing the stringency necessary to achieve such elegance.
The white swan, exploding in mid air, mirrors herself in a flower, shining in the limelight, despite sprouting from concrete: a moment of self-recognition after an all consuming effort, with the realization that it was worthy.
