FLY AWAY... (ORIGAMI 2023) Collage

In this story, I show my love of color and texture, fixing thousands paper origamis on my painting to create a sense of excitement and joy. Inspired by abstraction, pop art and symbols, I sought to capture the quintessence of optimism and freedom. It will bring an explosion of life and positive energy, awakening a feeling of happiness with every glance... The origami used in this story were folded by my father “André Messas” during this long period of COVID in 2020. A legend says: “Whoever folds a thousand paper cranes will have their wish granted.” » So for almost a year he folded thousands of origami for each of his children and grandchildren… and I will in turn use them in this series called “ORIGAMI”. All the artworks in this story will be presented in an frame box (between 3 to 9 cm thick) protected by a glass or plexiglass plate. The artwork will be carefully packed and sent in a wooden case. [ The crane is considered a mystical or holy creature (others include the dragon and the tortoise) in Japan and is said to live for a thousand years. That is why one thousand origami cranes (千羽鶴, senbazuru, lit. 'one thousand cranes') are made, one for each year. In some stories, it is believed that the cranes must be completed within one year and they must all be made by the person (or group of people) who will make the wish at the end.].
