About The Artwork

During a trip to Peru, I met this old woman in local clothes several times in a maze of streets in a small village. She had slightly green eyes that stood out. I imagined that she was the mother of nature, the pacha mama, as she is called in South America. And as she was old, I named her pacha abuela, abuela meaning grandmother in Spanish. I intensified this goddess aspect, with a UV light, by illuminating her eyes in the obscurity. Lors d'un voyage au Pérou, j'ai rencontré plusieurs fois cette vieille femme en habits locaux dans le dédale des rues d'un petit village. Elle avait des yeux légèrement verts qui ressortaient. J'ai imaginé qu'elle était la mère de la nature, la pacha mama, comme on l'appelle en Amérique du Sud. Et comme elle était âgée, je l'ai appelée pacha abuela, abuela signifiant grand-mère en espagnol. J'ai intensifié cet aspect de déesse, avec une lampe UV, en illuminant ses yeux dans l'obscurité.

Art in general has always had a prominent place in my life. I have been drawing, sculpting and playing music since my childhood. I have always had a passion for classical realist painting, especially the clair obscur style, and since 2013 I have been practicing realistic acrylic painting on canvas as an extra-professional activity. My paintings are inspired by photos taken during my travels around the world. My main aspirations can be summed up as follows: to capture a moment of life that has touched me and to convey more or less directly a message, a symbolism, which can sometimes lead to scenes that are part of the imagination. Most of the titles of my works are linked to the message that they transcribe. This message, this meaning of the work can be directly visible on it, or, and this is the particularity of my works, it is literally hidden. I use a UV paint that is not visible in natural light, which I finally apply to my canvas. The hidden meaning can be in written or pictorial form.
