Digital Fragments 419 – Ethereal Solid
Digital Fragments 419 is part of the Ethereal Solid digital art series by Denis Leclerc. Like all works in this collection, it explores abstraction as a space of tension and openness. Here, the image revolves around a striking visual axis: a sinuous, almost spinal column that anchors the entire composition.
At first glance, Digital Fragments 419 appears airy and open. Large areas of muted space surround a dense concentration of form in the upper right corner. There, ribbon-like shapes intertwine and fold inward. Yet, this column does not dominate—it breathes, allowing the surrounding emptiness to resonate.

Digital Fragments 419 and the Dynamic Column
One of the defining features of this Ethereal Solid digital artwork is the presence of a sinuous vertical line—a dynamic column of intertwined forms. This axis emerged naturally during the creative process, gradually guiding the composition.
Rather than imposing symmetry or balance, the column creates a dialogue between density and space. As a result, it draws the viewer’s gaze upward and inward. In doing so, it invites a deeper exploration of rhythm and movement within the image. Moreover, the surrounding void plays an essential role—offering room for the eye to wander, rest, and return.
Gesture, Tension, and Technique
Like all works in the Ethereal Solid series, Digital Fragments 419 was built using high-resolution digital tools. The artist layered each form on iPad, allowing the gestures to evolve over time. Consequently, the result balances controlled tension with open, breathing space—gesture and stillness, structure and release.
Every texture and line serves a purpose. In fact, the piece offers a meditation on how form can emerge from fluid motion, and how abstraction can suggest presence without imposing narrative.
