PAINTINGS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

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
Passionate photographer for almost 30 years, self-taught after a year in a preparatory art workshop for the Beaux Arts.
Very early on, my artistic vision & sensibility were influenced by the great currents of Modern Art (cubism, futurism, constructivism, surrealism) and their artists (such as Picasso, Braque, Vieira Da Silva, Rodtchenko, Rothko). All these influences have subsequently found their way into the aesthetics I've set out to develop.

Attracted by the rhythmic repetition of geometric shapes and the interplay of light, color and materials, I soon became interested in the urban landscapes of business districts, industrial zones and construction sites. Using the structures of these urban environments as a starting point, I aim to create real paintings.
These images are composed from real-life shots, and a system of duplication, homotety and framing ha enabled me to emphasize the geometric structures, colors and rhythms that make them up, thus inventing a new reality of reality.
