Oil on canvas

"Passing Through" captures a fleeting urban moment: A red car moves beneath dense vegetation while buildings and surrounding forms seem to dissolve into the atmosphere. Inspired by the way familiar surroundings change when seen in motion, Roucault focuses less on precise detail than on the impression a place leaves behind.



Using oil for its depth, softness and expressive possibilities, he combines Figurative Expressionism with semi-abstraction, allowing architecture and nature to merge while the vivid car becomes the visual anchor. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the countless scenes we pass every day and the unexpected beauty found in brief moments of observation..
