    In the monumental work *The Isle of the Phoenix* (1963-1965), Pierre Vlerick reached the apogee of his lyrical-abstract period. The canvas, of impressive dimensions (200 x 178 cm), is bathed in a diffuse light of pastel tones and incandescent accents. The composition, like a labyrinth of suspended forms and transparent contours, suggests figures - like a bird in flight - without ever freezing them.

    The whole exudes an ethereal serenity, but also an inner warmth, as if the canvas itself were being reborn. The phoenix motif, a symbol of renewal, perfectly reflects Vlerick's fascination with myth, nature and the unspeakable. This visual poetry corresponds to the most visionary phase of his career, which placed him at the heart of the Belgian artistic avant-garde in the 1960s.

    *The Isle of the Phoenix* is more than decorative: it is intellectually profound and emotionally vibrant - a rare example of lyrical abstraction with a spiritual scope.
