About The Artwork

I painted this portrait from a black and white photography taken from a newspaper of Julius Robert Oppenheimer known as the father of the atomic bomb -what used to be the "Manhattan project". What would this portrait become under my brushes with acrylic paint, harsh and quick drying? What would this archetypal photography becomes when treated as a model for a painting, a picture, for a painted image? Do I have something to say with such a manner about this man and his historic relevance?To emphasize these questions i added some gold marks on the painting itself has a metaphor for radioactivity, "gold" real in its own way like of course the atom.

"Dyslexie, dysorthographie, dyscalculie..." was what i used to hear when i was a child, which drove me to a "Libre école Rudolf Steiner" where i had a very good time learning and dealing with drawing, painting, wood working, knitting...in a very genuine way. It was never called :"ART", but who cares ? The topic back then had more to do with the Cosmos, vitality, energetic fields, rythm, grows, states of minds, of evolution, self-control, harmony and balance, elements that i kept in mind as i became an artist. Later, i got a BA and a MA of art from the royal College of Arts and design London (1989) but getting "on the ball" is another story. My first commitment was with sculpture in free open spaces. I moved then to abstract painting bringing this habit of "making things" in the process of painting. Recently i got acquainted to figurative painting for its political aspect, the need to respond in a more concrete way to our troubled times.
