LA LIGNE ROUGE / THE RED LINE Painting

I paint for over 30 years ; I started painting by Hyper-realism and Trompe-l'oeil. I've learned the basics in a special course of decorative painting. The School of Trompe l'Oeil taught me discipline and a certain technique. Over time these have imprisoned me in limiting the freedom of my desires and my creative choices. I managed to free myself from this constraints by radically changing my way of painting on canvas : in 2013, acrylic, knife and abstract expressionism replaced oil, brush, and hyper realism. Frustrated for so many years my creativity has been very productive. Instead of showing everything to the viewer, I now give him a support to daydream based on color harmonies, perspectives, verticals and horizontals witch occupied space without ever clogging it. I introduced recently a new element in the composition of some of my paintings : sand Mixed with glue and used sparingly, it brings particular look in both effects, that in contrast. Still no or very few spheres and circle in my compositions, they break, I think, refinement that I seek and disrupt the harmony and elegance that I wish to give to my paintings ... All my works are protected by a high quality varnish, the edges are painted, usually in black and the paintings are ready to hang. Many thank's for your visit in my gallery .
