<< I owe my evolution to Dan Hays, an English painter who helped me thanks to the way he sees and considers painting to move toward and into contemporary painting which I call Textual Art >>.
I am a « textural » painter. As far as I am concerned, I define it as a movement toward modernity.
Finally, I am a neo-pointillist, a pixellist, a symbolist, a realist, contemporary yet without systematization painter.
I’ve been working with bodies for a few years.
My insight changed in its approach of how to construct a painting, my images are fruits of a symbolical pursuit, based on internet and some pictures.
The work performed on my images is based on information transfer, up to a setting which gives birth in its turn to a painting.
This notion of conquering large spaces strengthens with a help from technology which allows a new perception of painting.
I do not go toward my motif anymore ; it lives in my studio.
My technique requires skill and space, and thus large sizes.
The first part of my work (sketch) deals with establishing my spaces, so that I can build my subject and remain faithful to my composition.
The second part is when « my knife dances », when I compose my canvas with intertwining small pieces of commas, with arabesques and spots, placing side by side fresh strokes onto fresh strokes. I apply them alternately, coarsened, and even rough, and then going thicker …
I feel as if I am sculpting my subject as I am painting.
