Concretions, 2021-2022

Technique: painting on lime wood, size 15 x 11 cm.
Exhibition available in 2 formats for outdoor use and 1 format for indoor use.

“I paint spontaneously and intuitively.
I apply colors according to my impressions of the nature that surrounds me, its transient atmospheres, the dynamics of its changes, its lights, its smells, its plants, its stones, its soils.

Each work materializes between structuring and improvisation through successive accumulations of material-color. The coverings are more or less thick, smooth and shiny, liquid or granular depending on the addition of marble powder or sand.

One after the other, each layer freezes a given time: the deposit of the layers of paint imitates the geological formation of nature and the structuring of human memory.

Constantly evolving, the painting* is formed, so to speak, by concretion and constitutes a record of successive pictorial times (the stages which led to the painting that I show to the public).

It offers the viewer an imaginary and fictional landscape whose genesis allows us to question the impermanence of reality."

*The small format of the paintings (15 x 11 cm) refers to that of photographs, memories of a past that constructs the present.
