" #Goliath " (Diptychs Series) 2019 Painting

This watercolor painting was inspired by two screenshots I’ve taken on some Instagram accounts. On the right a picture of a young palestinian swinging a slingshot to throw a stone to israeli forces, gripping a flag. When that picture gone viral, it reminds me of David versus Goliath. On the left a sculpture of the David of Bernini. A better title could have been "David versus David". Regarding the word “Hapax” : It refers to something that only occurs once, a meaningful event or anything special happening to you, which then make your life change. If you’re familiar with Instagram, you are likely used to see, and then swipe away quickly lots of content from other accounts. With my paintings, however, I suggest you take a break, just to look after several pictures I really like. I figured out this was the best way of really sharing my visual universe, and expressing my feelings, my thoughts. Most of time the paintings are interesting not only for the pictures themselves, but also for the texts below them. To me, this « Diptychs Series », is the opportunity to gather Art with the everyday life subjects, such as politic, climate crisis, women’s rights, etc. When you see two pictures gathered you mentally try to find the link between them. Sometimes it’s not obvious, sometimes it is, but it is always suggesting some awareness. As an artist, I sometimes feel more like an artivist. I don’t forget the word « social » in social networks. It’s also an opportunity to often get in touch with people I really appreciate and who share my point of view on these questions. Feel free to DM me if you want to express thoughts.
