About The Artwork

This work denounces the absurdity of violence and that the fight against it must be a common objective, because its tragic consequences affect and upset the balance of our societies. This painting was inspired by the riots of 2005 following the controversial sentence of Nicolas Sarkozy, who clumsily declared that he was going to clean the suburbs with Karcher. This sentence, perceived as stigmatizing by the population from these groups, had sparked days of uncontrollable violence. The reality that followed this unfortunate declaration was rather tragic, the suburbs were set ablaze, followed by days of clashes between the young people living in these neighborhoods and the police, at the end of all this outburst of violence. social tensions have not disappeared. Finally I can say that by creating this painting I wanted to denounce that violence, whatever its source, is intrinsically absurd. It represents a breakdown of the fundamental bonds that should be the foundations of a civilized society. Whether this violence is the result of social tensions or ideological causes, has only invariably tragic consequences for society. The absurdity of violence lies in the fact that it generally resolves nothing in a constructive and lasting way, on the contrary, it generates a vicious circle of retaliation, suffering and destruction.

I evolve from several years in the urban art world,  with a special visual style I feel more and more challenged by a socially involved militant mind, I speak it through my artworks which often have a controversial  and provoking context of society with a recurrent social and political message.  My work and my artistic way are strongly influenced by street art, and by its artistic approach  often with a strong social, even political message. In my artistic pursuit, I feel strongly challenged by these street artists and by their militant and committed state of mind. I find great inspiration in their plastic production, which frequently has a strong socially critical content, often ironic and with messages that invite us to reflect and analyze our society. I am inspired by  the street world and the urban culture not included in the traditional world of art. I love the critical connotations of urban art as their social and political aspects submitted to any academic concept. Even if my style continues to evolve I voluntarily place myself far from the art theories and academic discourse. I feel completely comfortable in the universe of urban art because  its roots are  the ordinary world and everyday reality. With a  social message and engaged context I would like to engage people emotionally and awaken collective awareness about society and the world.
