Les Grandes Vacances

The place where I live has a strong influence on my art. When I came to Los Angeles in 2007, I felt sensations that awakened memories of childhood, memories of summer holidays in France, where in the omnipresent heat everything happened around water, between swimming pools and the seaside. Working especially on framings, colors and light, delving into this particular atmosphere linked to my memories, I was seeking to capture this realistic intimate world, like a freeze frame in a movie, a moment of grace where time seems suspended. Thus, I have worked with acrylic for its ability to blend with water, its quick drying and fluidity, using very diluted matt acrylic paint.
