Somewhere Painting

“My inner energy, it must come out, and live” Everything is met, some of them are fundamental: • Caravaggio for its dark light • Vermeer, for its delicacy and understanding of light, • Kandinsky, for his spontaneity, • Soulages, for the strength of his gesture, • Richter for colour overlays • And above all, Zao Wou-Ki, my true pictorial encounter, for the subtlety of his living spaces that he offers us, empty inhabited by the silence and wind that transcend everyday life. I paint on canvas or on wood. I first work the structure with mortar, marble powder, handmade paper made in South East Asia. I like that you can touch my paintings, feel the grain. I let come and I dialogue using acrylic, pigments, the oxidation process of copper, bronze or iron, in search of movement, light and breathing of the color. If I were to qualify my current painting, I would speak of suggestive abstraction.
