My creative process begins with an impulse to "touch" the landscape. I hope that when viewers stand before my works, they can feel a physiological resonance that transcends sight.
-Lucien Hoffmann
His paintings do more than simply depict a landscape; they attempt to recreate its physical essence and inner soul. He innovatively mixes natural materials such as sand, plaster, and plant fibers with oil paints, using tools like palette knives and scrapers to create near-sculptural works on the canvas. The final result is no longer an "image" of the landscape, but rather a slice of the landscape itself—thick, rough, and full of the marks left by storms, rain, and time.
