Thus, were created Bleu d’Outremer pour stimuler l’esprit (2005), echoing René Char’s fulgurances and Vieira da Silva’s painting, Mozart de Vienne (2007), meeting and confrontation between Bernard de Vienne, living composer and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Pèlerinage Rothko (2009), inspired by Mark Rothko’s vibrant painting.
