Aperture in Red XVIII Painting

My paintings "Apertures" aim to capture single, yet multi-faceted moments as they unfold. With these paintings I attempt to define space and express infinity simultaneously. With the use of saturated color as a metaphor for what I experience physically and emotionally, I mark my paper with a direct and rigorous brush stroke. At the same time, I use the wet paper to allow for a gradual fading that lets me respect and trust the unknown. I grew up in the south of France, where there is a strongly pronounced contrast between light and shadow. Sensitive to extremes, I learned to question the authenticity of what appeared as face value and to look below the surface. The process of making my paintings and installations allows me to search for what is unrevealed. I am always searching for the reconciliation with the force of my creative process as not only being an outlet to my past, but a coherent narrative.
