On these large formats of Rodoïde, a seemingly stubborn medium, I imprint the speed of the gesture, I play with the elements.
Paint devoured by water, petrified by the southern sun, or evaporated by the sirocco wind of the dryer.
Life makes them succumb.
The photographic sharpness develops an abstract hyperrealism and draws the mind toward real imaginaries.
Painting with variable mental focus. We can encompass them with our gaze or dive into their transparent depths, reminiscent of micro-satellites.
Gestural and meditative painting.
The behavior of the pigments in clouds, swirls, bursts, and fusions provides a snapshot of the material moment, a flash of the painter’s gesture.
