As we approach Denise Dumont’s canvases for this special Amazon edition of ArtNow
Report, we are invited to traverse the very thickness of time and forest. Here, green is
more than just a color: it is living substance, suspended atmosphere, a breath
transplanted from the vast rainforest into the fabric of the canvas. Through the artist’s
gesture, the Amazon pulses — not as an illustrative image, but as an unavoidable
presence, a silent call to sensory immersion.
Denise Dumont’s compositions act as portals to states of mind rooted in abstraction. The
stains, the densities, the interplay of green tones — sometimes damp moss, sometimes
luminous clearings — suggest multiple inner landscapes and an Amazon that is felt
rather than described. Each layer reveals the forest’s invisible architecture: a play of
filtered light, heavy silences, and sudden bursts of awe. Her technique, rich in gesture
and material, unfolds textures evoking tree trunks, mist, and the vertigo of the vegetal
horizon, as if her brushstrokes were winds bending the treetops.
In her recent work, Amazonian green also thickens into metaphor: ancestral strength,
comfort, and resilience. As we contemplate her canvases, we are led into a state of
suspension, immersed in nuances that overflow from the visible into the intangible.
Denise creates atmospheres that spark a synesthetic experience, conjuring memories of
wet earth, water, shadow, and shifting sunlight.
Denise understands the power of color like few others. In her universe, color is not an
accessory — it is emotional substance. Green, in particular, becomes a living metaphor.
It is healing. It is cycle. It is continuity. It is the interval between what was and what can
still bloom. At the same time, it is a quiet protest — a reminder that beauty also needs
protection.
Yet this aesthetic potency does not end at the canvas. Denise Dumont channels the
transformative power of art into the spaces we inhabit: her work is not decoration but a
vibrating soul, granting identity and creating unique atmospheres. Opening oneself to
Denise’s green is, therefore, opening oneself to wonder and connection — to what, in the
artist’s own words, “gives soul to spaces.”
