About The Artwork
Inspired by classical Greece sculpture and relief such as the Frieze of the Athena Nike temple in Athens, the painting is a cloth thrown work acheiving the look of a draped figure rendering. The painting is part of a series of four which can stand together under the title "Athena Sandalizousa (Athena reajusting her sandal). It is also part of a wider project : "To reconstruct Antique Greece", based on the idea of ruin and nostalgia (in its ethymological sens : homesickness, the longing of the origins). The work is made of white gesso on black gesso, is completly flat and is produced by a very straitforward, direct, gesture. The contrast of white over black produces a striking effect of relief while the gesture produces a seizing effect of movement.

I've been at work, mainly in drawing and painting, and showing my work for almost thirty years. I'm interested in revisiting classical greek esthetics through an exploration of forms and techniques related to the gesture of drawing. I attemp to link my approach to a contemporary state of culture and sensitivity, in a firm nostalgic attitude (understood as the sens - or pain - of rupture from the origins.
