About The Artwork

On this frontcover photography from a magazine specialised in bioproducts, the message was easy to catch : we are nothing without earth , earth define us, the force from earth is Gaïa. Beyond the symbol that delivers this beautiful radiant woman' s face surrounded by earthy ground stuff and residue, the artist likes the commitment, the amount of risk taken by the model, the person that let herself being photographed in that manner. Here, there is no photomontage, very little if not any digital means to create the image. It is the plain reality of a woman head being dugged in earth to the very edges of her face's contour. This "realism", this lack of tricks appeal to the artist and drive him to paint according to this fashion, the stones, the teeth, the eyes, the lips corners, each stone and pebble without distinction. Thanks to the art of painting, the created painted image gives the myth of Gaïa a reality that relates to us.

"Dyslexie, dysorthographie, dyscalculie..." was what i used to hear when i was a child, which drove me to a "Libre école Rudolf Steiner" where i had a very good time learning and dealing with drawing, painting, wood working, knitting...in a very genuine way. It was never called :"ART", but who cares ? The topic back then had more to do with the Cosmos, vitality, energetic fields, rythm, grows, states of minds, of evolution, self-control, harmony and balance, elements that i kept in mind as i became an artist. Later, i got a BA and a MA of art from the royal College of Arts and design London (1989) but getting "on the ball" is another story. My first commitment was with sculpture in free open spaces. I moved then to abstract painting bringing this habit of "making things" in the process of painting. Recently i got acquainted to figurative painting for its political aspect, the need to respond in a more concrete way to our troubled times.
