The portrait, multiplicity of one’s side
In every people we meet, we find a piece of another self, a bit of what we would like to be.
The faces I paint reveal a restless quest of identity, of entirety, the stirring of the being, and its inability to stare at a face. Sometimes feminine sometimes masculine, another time androgyne, these portraits belong to nobody, they only show some buried moods, interior disorders, primal feelings.
The technique I use is a mix of sand, glued paper, vegetal elements and acrylic paint.
In addition of brushes, I work with trowels to apply paint and try to build a becoming being.
The portrait, desire to meet each other
The face, the more precisely focussed, is caught like a fly in the web. I try to catch a runaway feeling, the one we don’t want to see, that we cannot control, the one who reveals the dark side we all have. Shamelessness is part of my painting, I need to provoke. This is why I give more importance to huge paintings.
If I disturb, I’ll have reached the one who is watching, shaken him, not in order to shatter him but to make him stop and think, to convey emotion in which he can recognise himself.
