Helvetian Bird, Bernard Rangel
This painting belongs to a very private and intimate period of my personal life. My mother's passing. We both had the same birthday so as one can imagine the bond was very close. Bella was a strong and courageous character. We clashed often but we developed a respect for each other. Some of the titles of the works carry the Helvetian title a good explanation can be an understanding of a landlocked country and it could also refer to the centre or heart of something as Switzerland is in fact. I did live there in Bluche/Crans Montana for two years and I learnt how to ski, eat Raclette, Fondue and drink Swiss stuff to overcome snow blindness. The Alps there are simply beautiful. My Contemporary Tribal Surreal experience was sitting there "high" up in the snow overlooking the mountains as the cloud covered the valley below. Simply magical.
