Painting portraits of First Nations’ chiefs is above all painting a whole world, a philosophy, it is about keeping alive the story of our humanity. Before Europeans arrived in America, the indigenous population was estimated to be between 1.2 million and 5 million. After their genocide the population was reduced to 250,000.
Painting portraits of First Nations’ chiefs is above all painting a whole world, a philosophy, it is about keeping alive the story of our humanity.

Before Europeans arrived in America, the indigenous population was estimated to be between 1.2 million and 5 million.
After their genocide the population was reduced to 250,000.

Not wanting to get involved in judgmental polemic, painting the Native Americans’ universe means painting history, honoring mankind in context.
Here the context is the opposition between people thanking the earth for what it gives them and people wanting to possess it, to occupy the land not belonging to them.

Painting a First Natives’ world is painting the duality between those who are and those who take, it is witnessing the tension that governs the world.

I use historical photographs to start with. These pictures have visually captured Native Americans in captivity.
Despite the seeming defeat these portraits convey a nobleness, a timelessness I try to develop pictorially.

The desire to conquer territorial space was achieved with the extension of the "railroad" and to allow its progression it was necessary to use the force of arms.
Consequently I am expanding the theme to painting trains, period weaponry, buffaloes...
This pictorial theme is very contemporary.
This is highlighted with the many science fiction movies where man seeks to invade other planets. From steam engines to flying saucers.
Cinematographic fiction today foretells the reality of tomorrow. The process of stealing and destroying The Earth’s resources is well engraved in human mentality.

We all know that it is artificial to seek to represent reality by a painted or photographed image, how erroneous it is to seek to compare a painting to this same reality; nevertheless, poetic emotion and sometimes the sublime do indeed belong to the art of portraiture.

It is in this aspiration that Marc Carniel has been practicing it for more than 30 years.

Born in Brussels, capital of Europe and from a family of artists from northern Italy, Marc Carniel is an image artist; whether he photographs it or builds it digitally or even stages it through video editing, he always captures its intensity and offers a powerful creative translation.

It was after discovering the painting of Gerhard Richter and the creative universe of Warhol that he abandoned his studies of the history of Art for his pictorial practice.

Tel a writer who develops his novel then leaves it for another, this painter offers us these series which have between them the bond of attachment to history.

Stories of painting, History of our humanity , it is always in oil that they present them to us.
