| "Mont Sainte Victoire" 30 x 30 cm acrylic on canvas © Olivier Hijmans, 2015 |

Cézanne's
famous series about Mont Sainte Victoire has been a great
inspiration for me. Having attended many Buddhist summer courses over
the years near the village of Trets,
overlooking this beautiful mountain, I have formed a deep connection with this area. The specific
herbal scent, the dry summer heat, the sounds from the valley, the ever
changing color and lighting of the mountain... It really is a very
special place. Cézanne knew that, and I also experienced it very much.
Though the mountains in this painting are not quite the shape of the
actual Mt Sainte Victoire, this scene is an expression of the area and
everything I experienced there, as projected from my heart and
observation.
