In Les Armes de la Lumière, the viewer is struck by an explosive burst of chromatic intensity. Like a prism shattering the monotony of shadow, the canvas radiates with fierce pinks, searing yellows, ultraviolet blues, and vibrant greens, converging and colliding in a storm of raw emotion and radiant energy. These colors do not merely decorate—they battle, like celestial forces warring for dominance in a cosmic ballet.

Cutting through this riot of color are three gilded baroque flourishes—ornamental, regal, almost weapon-like. Their intricate curves recall the golden motifs of Versailles and the embellished emblems of royal France. But here, they are unanchored, swirling freely in a sea of modern abstraction, symbols of an old world struggling to remain visible through the brilliant light of a new age.

This painting embodies the heart of L’Âge du Prisme—a collection that celebrates the collision of eras, the transformation of grandeur into energy, and the reframing of historical motifs through the lens of contemporary expression. It asks: when the divine right of kings is fractured by the spectrum of the modern mind, what remains? Perhaps only light—and the arms that wield it.
