PAINTINGS UNDER CONSTRUCTION (Series)
DESCRIPTION
From photographs taken in real life, a work with horizontal and vertical symmetries allowed me subsequently to emphasize more and more the geometric structures, the colors and the rhythms that initially compose them, and thus invent a new reality.
AUTHOR
BIO
Passionate photographer for almost 30 years, self-taught after a year in a preparatory art workshop at the Beaux Arts in France.
Early, my artistic outlook and sensitivity were strongly marked by great currents of Modern Art (cubism, futurism, constructivism, surrealism) and some of their artists (Picasso, Braque, Vieira Da Silva, Rodtchenko or Rothko); all these influences were subsequently found in the aesthetics that I wanted to develop.
Attracted by the repeated and rhythmic geometric forms, the play of lights, colors and materials that one encounters there, I was very quickly interested in the urban landscapes that offer us business districts, industrial zones and construction sites. From the structures of these ultra-urban environments, I create real paintings, made of steel, concrete and glass paintings.
These images are composed from real-life shots, and a system of duplication, homotety and framing has enabled me to emphasize the geometric structures, colors and rhythms that make them up, thus inventing a new reality of reality.
