About The Artwork

I began a series of pools in 2021 "Pool with...", directly inspired by David Hockney's pools. David Hockney's pools from the 60's and 70's embody hedonism, a happy lifestyle, homosexuality and perhaps hope. Personally, some of them seem to me to have a certain sadness about them. Today, their meaning seems to me different from David Hockney's swimming pools because of our times, because of the IPCC reports. Even if they still embody a certain hedonism, they convey an image of selfishness, they symbolize in a way the access to water, and especially the lack of access to water. This work, "Swimming pool with flying car" is part of that series. This carcass could be a "Tesla" or another flamboyant idea, which will normalize the world of tomorrow. My pools are symbols of our human behavior, they are reflections of pools, imaginary, placed in unlikely places. Of course, these pools are puddles, ponds, basins, swimming pools. I also participate in the human drifts that I expose through my work, I am an actor and guilty. We are making a world where many will have unwanted pools and others will have dried up wells. As in the past, family meals drag on, only the adults have the right to speak, and as in the past, they leave the table at 6 pm and, full as they are, they do not want to make decisions that could compromise the next family meal. My work is dictated by our human behavior, I use images to describe our shortcomings, our drifts often linked to intellectual laziness. These pools are part of my work on the landscape, they are a research on the composition based on horizontal lines, in search of a certain fullness, of hope.

I am a polymorphous artist, if painting is my favorite medium, I also use other media at my disposal: drawing, photography, digital art, sculpture and video where music is present. Each work is approached done by an intellectual and plastic reflection, photos, sketches, notes, the result is a model of the desired plastic image, realized on Photoshop. The execution is mainly done in acrylic or oil. My work is strongly steeped in my Corsican origins, the wild waste dumps, the abandoned villages, the ruins, the invading scrub, the dust of the summer, theses images are strongly printed in my unconscious, but also the exile, the departure and the return, which characterizes us the Corsicans. My works today are mostly urban landscapes drawn from television, photographic imagery, my travels and Google Maps. I do a research work, a kind of inventory of our human society with my particular vision. My work reflects the noisy and uncertain silence of our time, I question my contemporaries about our paradoxes our choices of life for the future, by submitting images of the past or present imprinted with human presence. These images are most often related to childhood, hopes born in childhood and disillusionment of adulthood.
