About The Artwork

This work is based on a scene I experienced in Riga, Latvia. After a heavy rain, the light from the lights in a small street in the historic centre was reflected in all directions. The play of light was very interesting. The street was really empty and suddenly in a bend I see a single person leaning on the wall of a house who seems to be waiting, but waiting for who, what? I found the street too deserted for a date, and I imagined that this person was waiting for an entity that I could not see in natural light, like invisible souls walking down the street. That is why I named this work : La rue des âmes. These souls are only visible in my painting under UV light. Cette œuvre est basée sur une scène que j'ai vécue à Riga, en Lettonie. Après une forte pluie, la lumière des lampadaires d'une petite rue du centre historique se reflétait dans toutes les directions. Le jeu de lumière était très intéressant. La rue était vraiment vide et soudain, dans un virage, je vois une seule personne appuyée sur le mur d'une maison qui semble attendre, mais attendre qui, quoi ? J'ai trouvé la rue trop déserte pour un rendez-vous, et j'ai imaginé que cette personne attendait une entité que je ne pouvais pas voir dans la lumière naturelle, comme des âmes invisibles marchant dans la rue. C'est pourquoi j'ai nommé cette œuvre : La rue des âmes. Ces âmes ne sont visibles dans ma peinture que sous la lumière UV.

Art in general has always had a prominent place in my life. I have been drawing, sculpting and playing music since my childhood. I have always had a passion for classical realist painting, especially the clair obscur style, and since 2013 I have been practicing realistic acrylic painting on canvas as an extra-professional activity. My paintings are inspired by photos taken during my travels around the world. My main aspirations can be summed up as follows: to capture a moment of life that has touched me and to convey more or less directly a message, a symbolism, which can sometimes lead to scenes that are part of the imagination. Most of the titles of my works are linked to the message that they transcribe. This message, this meaning of the work can be directly visible on it, or, and this is the particularity of my works, it is literally hidden. I use a UV paint that is not visible in natural light, which I finally apply to my canvas. The hidden meaning can be in written or pictorial form.
