Rainbow Painting

French abstract expressionist from Brittany, presently living in Hong Kong for the past thirty years. I did the Art School of Life as an autodidact. Sensitive to my living environment, I started collecting trash and gave them a second life by making sculptures with wires for instance. My first painting was done on a thrown ply wood found in the street. I paint with instinct, especially the first row of the painting, searching for my true inner at this precise moment; then the piece starts to get its prime DNA that I forge to my satisfaction. This is why some of my paintings may have a tribal touch. I chose bright, warm color like if I was looking to compensate the grey urban environment of the city. I look for contrast, colors clashing to grab viewers’ attention and tackle their emotion; I want them to wonder, to be transported in other dimensions. I also like giving textural effects like if I could bring the painting alive, a sort of immobile dynamic. Abstract painting for me is synonymous to freedom; it has no boundaries no rules. It is a free land of expression that offers viewers a wide angle of interpretation.
