Artistic approach
“Since painting has a beauty of its own, one can create an abstract beauty, provided it remains pictorial.”
The inspiration behind my work lies in an intimate relationship between nature and spirituality. The basic elements of my compositions are subtly suggested, leaving a vast space for interpretation and a multitude of visions.
I listen to the first glance and let the creative emotion emerge. I decode the languages of painting by seeking out places where nature has left its imprint, from the Stone Age to the present day. This approach leads to scenes with a primitive, pure and natural character and, in contrast, some urban scenes may spring forth, leading me to question their finitude in space and time.
The atmosphere of the places I visit speaks to me and allows me to capture a moment in time and make it last: a kind of memory that absorbs visual equivalents, later conveyed and transformed through a dynamic, concise gesture.
The contrast of warm and cool is an essential part of my experimentation. Brushes and palette knives, washes and scraping, layering and transparencies are all means that form a framework for exploring the subject. The passion I convey takes shape through intuitive movement, subjective shading and the interplay of colours. Forms are sometimes simplified to create visual and aesthetic harmony.
Nature in its simplest states offers me ranges of tones: ochres, blues, oranges and whites. I draw out their essence to use them in both primitive and contemporary imagery. All these processes give my research, and the way it is staged, its singular character.
Today, painting has become an irresistible surge of life, a passion that captivates me and overflows within me. As humanity keeps evolving, my repertoire remains an inexhaustible source of artistic language.
