ABOUT THE ARTWORK

(English below) Cette toile agitée est née d'une admiration pour les formes et les motifs de certains coquillages. Les fonds marins, le graphisme des coquilles, la matière palpitante et mouillée de la vie aquatique ont inspiré l'artiste. Les couleurs sur cette toile peuvent évoquer un point de vue depuis l'intérieur tortueux d'une coquille, ou un univers océanique exubérant, fantasmé (le bleu électrique et turquoise intense) mais informe. Les zones distinctes tourbillonnent en vagues tachetées, striées, ornées de motifs organiques. Tous les éléments de la composition trouvent à se concrétiser en un point précis, puis à s’éparpiller et à se fondre avant de ressurgir. On a ici l’image abstraite du cercle de vie de ces étranges créatures que sont les coquillages, de la forme à l’informe, du mollusque à la coquille rigide, à leur recyclage infini, à leurs matières éternellement brassées par la matrice Océane, à la fois génitrice et destructrice. Images fractales, spirales sans fin, formes créées puis dissoutes : avec «Shells lives», l'artiste incite à s’absorber dans la matière brute de la vie la plus primitive et la plus fascinante, comme un rappel humble mais vertigineux de l’essence organique et périssable de toute vie. *** This agitated painting started with the artist's admiration for certains seashells' patterns and shapes. The colors on this artwork evoke whether a point of view from inside some wonderful tortuous shell, or an exuberant oceanic universe, fantasized (electric blue and intense turquoise) but twisted.The distinct areas swirl in mottled, ridged waves, adorned with organic patterns. All the elements of the composition find concrete expression at a specific point, then scatter and merge before resurfacing. Here we have the abstract image of the circle of life of these strange creatures that are shells, from form to formlessness, from mollusks to rigid shells, to their infinite recycling, to their materials eternally brewed by the Océane matrix, both genitor and destroyer. Fractal images, endless spirals, shapes created and then dissolved: with “Shells lives”, the artist encourages oneself to be absorbed in the raw material of the most primitive and the most fascinating life, as a humble but dizzying reminder of the organic essence and the perishable of all life.

SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Delivery Time:

Typically 5-7 business days for domestic shipments, 10-14 business days for international shipments.

Art is emotion, from mine to yours - if I succeed in the intensity of my expression. I try to explore, more than to have patterns, so each piece is truly its whole world. I am driven by plastic principles and construction ideas that I want to dig, such as warm/cold contrasts, depht/flat, textures conflicts, multiple points of view... I start with an idea, but the painting evolves itself and reveals afterwards what I had inside but was confuse to my mind. That's art power!
