Cette œuvre est basée sur une scène dont j'ai été témoin en 2013 au Mexique, précisément à San Cristóbal de las Casas, dans l'État du Chiapas. Dans la rue, quatre enfants sont regroupés sur un banc public. Ces enfants sont contraints de travailler comme cireurs de chaussures, une pratique malheureusement encore trop courante au Mexique. C'est alors que je réalise que le plus grand des quatre s'apprête à cirer les chaussures d'un de ses compagnons. Ne l'ayant jamais vu par la suite, je n'ai jamais vraiment su s'il s'agissait d'un rituel entre cireurs de chaussures mais, pour moi, c'était quelque chose d'unique que je devais immortaliser sur une toile. En peignant sur ma toile, j'ai imaginé, petit à petit, que ces enfants, probablement livrés à eux-mêmes, avaient quelqu'un pour les protéger, et que nous, occidentaux, ne pouvions pas voir. J'ai personnifié cette protection avec la peinture UV par une entité féminine comme une déesse, une mère, derrière le banc, protégeant ces enfants perdus.
Art in general has always played a major role in my life. I've been drawing, sculpting and playing music since I was a child. I've always had a passion for classical painting, particularly the chiaroscuro style, and since 2013 I've been practising painting on a self-taught basis as an extra-professional activity. My main aspirations can be summed up as follows: to capture a moment in life that has touched me, and to convey a message more or less directly, sometimes leading to scenes that are purely imaginary. Now that you know a little more about me, I'd like to welcome you to my world!
