Listen While Watching

🎵 Original music by NiQo

Each painting in the Le Chant des Éléments series comes with its own musical composition, written and digitally arranged by NiQo.

This piece is built around the subtle strength of pizzicato strings — each note like a drop of dew falling onto ancient moss. The violin speaks not through sweeping melodies, but through a series of quiet, deliberate pulses. It walks slowly, like footsteps on damp earth, grounding the listener in a space of stillness and patience.

No grand gestures here — only silence, resonance, and the rhythm of living roots. Between the plucked strings, spaces open up for breath, for reflection. The music listens more than it speaks, echoing the role of the two tree-beings standing watch within the painting: steady, silent, fully alive.

The Vision

A triangle rises — not as a mountain, but as a shelter, a silent temple layered with soil, echoes, and ancestral memory. At its base, two tree-like figures stand rooted and still: the Contemplateurs Terrestres, guardians of breath and silence, who speak through their immobility. The vivid green tones radiate a quiet vitality, while a golden disc pulses above like a timeless heart. This painting is a meditation on connection — to earth, to presence, to the sacred pause between movements — blending geometry and intuition into a grounded invitation to simply be.
