Paintings


My painting is some kind of "Visual touch" with people who are looking at.

I'm leading them to discover an unknown world surface they ignore, and with which I'm playing thru dimensions growing, similar to macrophotography, but with the difference that I organize and set the different elements by myself, exploring stuff brought daily by the real life.

When I create, I let the audience see my mental pictures. I offer them the way I see and I feel the world. I materialize my sensitivity in "visual touch" forms, that the eye can "palpate" at least the smaller roughness and reliefs that I’m setting down on my canvas.

I'm working the matter on my canvas, the same way I'm sculpting, with heavy reliefs and heterogeneous material. The metallic aspect allowed me to play and to strengthen this feeling of depth, in order to stand out from the canvas' bidimension.

When I'm living the reliefs, for the flat canvas, it's an organic world that take place. The curves and the suggested volume are rising, in either flashing colors or metalic ones.
I'm changing warm colors for cold ones and give audience eyes a portion of a constant recomposed motif, a little bit like the fractal universe.



Sculptures


Matter is my passion. I feel it living under my fingers, and it guides me up to the end of the work depending on its composition. In a way it's the matter, with its texture, its surface and its composition which leads me to create either geometric, organic or figurative forms. That is the reason why my production is so various.

The softness and the sensuality of the earth that I shape or cut, leads me to create either figurative or organic forms, as well as the plaster for its porous and immaculate aspect.

Matter allows me to translate the vision of the reality I have. That can be simple, refine or drawn up.

This is this mix of visions and sensations that I offer to the audience eyes, through a work that can be abstract or figurative with sculpture in the round or high relief.
