Projection - 200cm x 200cm Painting

"Projection" is an introspective journey that invokes the question of artistic creation. It undoubtedly acts as a mise en abyme. The dimensions invite a projection into this personal, mental, and sanctified space of my creative work, expressed in music or painting. For many years, I have been working on developing an artistic language, a visual grammar, that reflects my perception of reality. These rules defy any objective geometric logic, any constraints of perspective or physics. I shape forms and objects as I please, making them alternately opaque and transparent, stable and unsettling, thus creating my own rules of balance and disruption. "Projection" is the embodiment of this journey into this dual space, where the rules of classical perspective and harmony lose their grip. It is a projection into a world of freedom, where distances and dimensions no longer hold meaning. A library atmosphere is palpable, with books and references that nourish me. My chair is both stable and unstable, resting on a plush carpet; its state of balance and imbalance characterizes the creative process for me. A large wooden ladder, like a ladder to the stars, invites to reach my goal. A green library lamp inspired by those in the Sainte-Geneviève library in the fifth arrondissement of Paris stands proudly. My process of musical composition follows a fairly similar logic. I navigate in this mental space with my piano: its keys are unique; they connect to their environment, particularly to the lamp that lights my path like a beacon in the night. A swimming pool with a diving board emerges in this universe, with water symbolizing an inexhaustible reservoir of inspiration. The canvas is bathed in vibrant colors, reflecting the exuberance of this artistic adventure. Whether in music or painting, I explore with immense joy a space with unconventional rules, transcending the boundaries of the ordinary to embrace a world of endless possibilities.
