" Art is the appropriate writing style that is necessary to communicate the noble and enriching movements of life. This thereby explains why, in these end times, abstraction triumphs! The negative state of mind, prince of oblivion, with nothing to say to his slaves, proposes stripping us of our words, and this works. However, since it's deemed ridiculous to glorify nothingness, some select intellectual mouthpieces, in service to the world, were given the burden to invent a rapid-fire gun of bulky narratives (a fearfull tool which cuts down so many in the ranks!).

Yet I care not, for I am protected by the armor of divine love. My 'permanent state' of facing the easel has also allowed me to contemplate and measure the long path that is life; from here, I am guessing where it all ends.

Naturally, and without great regrets, I am working headlong on a great fresco of souvenirs and other recollections. This story will end, confirming solidly for the viewer's benefit what I have been wanting to say. This longed-for work is not a morbid feeling of obsession but a wish for the logical end to a lively moment in one's life, a precise endpoint to something so limited.

My present canvases contain a designed space which says 'to be continued'. I am guessing its size, created around multifaceted stones, being a determined hole that is neutral, silent and yet not frightening."

A short time after writing these few lines, Rob Jullien abandonned us. A few months before he disappeared from this world, his book had been printed and was sold out.

—A visit to the Rob Jullien Museum* (by Elizabeth Dumez)—Gareoult, France, 06/08/07

As we glide our selves into the dim light of this place, filled with history, we experience a shiver that only such old buildings communicate to its visitors. Upon entering, you feel observed by the penetrating stare of the Master's portrait, now so distant from the live world. Cold and dark stone walls seem to open into another dimension.

Rob Jullien is an extraterrestrial created into man. All his work breathes of invisible universes. All your senses awaken as you come upon his pieces, named "Luminous Christ " or "Christ's City " or still "Haydn's Creation". Chains brake and liberate your thinking. Here, you travel to the depths of his work.

He will annoy some of us. This is because his paintings rip to shreds the most cherished corners of your soul, pulls out the shadows that dwell in your nights, gives birth to our existential doubts and jets us toward redemption. For others, he will be like the enchantor Merlin, revealing the Holy Grail!

We are all part of his cosmic city; living solely to access the universal truth. His earthly world seems tormented by its impotence to act on the matter, yet there remains hope in his canvas. The colors he uses are simultaneously cold and pure as a rock crystal, even cosmic (see Tremie Cosmique), and as hot and troubling as in a sunset (see City of Christ), a one-way trip to eternity.

One particular canvas has gotten my full attention - "Un océan de spiritualité" (An ocean of spirituality). It appears to foresee men at the larval stage, pulling behind them their cupidity; some of them, awake, straightening up, stretching out their hands toward a light, whereas this very same light, soft and protective, comes to melt within them! Man is no longer alone. Here is perhaps the message that Rob Julien wanted to leave in his painting - evil irremediably comes about by the cosmic force of our own thoughts. Rob Julien will remain for us a timeless soul.
