Ma dĂ©marche artistique Depuis quelques annĂ©es, jâai dĂ©cidĂ© de mâaffranchir du figuratif pour aller vers lâexploration de la couleur et de la forme en toute libertĂ©. Jâutilise les couteaux pour plus de spontanĂ©itĂ© et dâaisance dans le mouvement et aussi les pinceaux et autres instruments utiles. Jâemploie lâhuile, lâacrylique et lâencre, parfois jâajoute des pierres semi-prĂ©cieuses dans mes tableaux sans doute influencĂ© par mon hĂ©ritage de bijoutier. JâintĂšgre aussi diffĂ©rentes matiĂšres : sable, mĂ©taux, algues, bois⊠Et il peut y avoir parfois une pointe dâhumour! La conscience environnementale nâest jamais aussi trĂšs loin. Bref, ma dĂ©marche artistique est fondĂ©e sur le concept de libertĂ© : je me sens libre de toute chapelle et de toutes prĂ©occupations commerciales. Seul devant mon tableau, je peins en suivant mon imaginaire, mon intuition, ma fantaisie, ma spontanĂ©itĂ©; toujours en exploration, toujours en mouvement. Mon inconscient me guide, mes Ă©motions mâaniment. Souvent, jâavance en aveugle, surpris des rĂ©sultats, je reviens en arriĂšre. Jâajoute, je soustrais ou encore je superpose. Il y a dâabord la couleur puis le geste et petit Ă petit apparaissent les formes colorĂ©es et le tableau suit son petit bonhomme de chemin jusquâau moment oĂč sâinstalle mystĂ©rieusement une sensation dâharmonie qui me suggĂšre que rien ne peut ĂȘtre ajoutĂ© ou soustrait. Il ne reste que le vernissage et le tableau est prĂȘt pour son voyage vers les humains. EXPOSITION JANVIER 2019.

H1p1e9My artistic approach For a few years, I decided to free myself from the figurative to go towards the exploration of color and shape in complete freedom. I use knives for more spontaneity and ease of movement and also brushes and other useful instruments. I use oil, acrylic and ink, sometimes I add semi-precious stones in my paintings, no doubt influenced by my heritage as a jeweler. I also integrate different materials: sand, metals, seaweed, wood... And there can sometimes be a touch of humor! Environmental awareness is never so far away. In short, my artistic approach is based on the concept of freedom: I feel free from any chapel and from any commercial concerns. Alone in front of my painting, I paint following my imagination, my intuition, my fantasy, my spontaneity; always exploring, always on the move. My subconscious guides me, my emotions animate me. Often, I move forward blind, surprised at the results, I go back. I add, I subtract or I superimpose. First there is the color then the gesture and little by little the colored shapes appear and the painting follows its merry way until the moment when a sensation of harmony mysteriously sets in which suggests to me that nothing can be added or subtracted. Only the varnishing remains and the painting is ready for its journey to humans. EXHIBITION JANUARY 2019.
