About The Artwork

Artistic approach "What a painting, I do not know. that I seek. Each of my paintings pose the question. I can only say that in my opinion, a picture, when viewed sufficiently, is not a window to the outside, but a door that opens inward. " Jean-Michel Sanejouand TECHNIQUE: Street art on the abstract My starting point is a sketchbook, or I transcribe emotions into characters in clear line and pencil. They are a reflection of the emotion of the moment, there are days more propitious than others for this stage of my work ... I select a part of these sketches for the reworked on drawing sheet with the posca marker to bring them a size and adapted motifs, these will reinforce the character to bring to him the emotion or the necessary movement, to make it evolve in a universe that remains to be defined ... For this stage I work only with markers black or red on white sheet ... The last step is to choose the support of drawing, painting, sculpture, or still in posca drawing if the universe is suitable for the character ... see the two or the three. I will start an abstract phase of my art, I will create an abstract painting that I will dress of a character adapted to this abstract background, the two must be found ... I have different background on which I will visualize the different characters so that they complement each other perfectly. I mainly work the acrylic paint flat on the floor to have a hard support, needed for pallets. I mix the colors with thickening gel to create material and I play with three to four different colors that will mix as I work with my palettes. This test is relatively fast and requires great concentration, it is a source of great emotion. This stage finished, I will work in thin layer with effect of transparency to create a veil of light and a depth in the background. Once the drawing corresponding to the selected background, I retranscris it to the marker posca on my bottom. The objective is to give the character an effect of transparency and integrate it to the depth of the canvas. The characters are light in transparency with a form of movement and always full of emotion. MY OBJECTIVES: EMOVE, REVER AND WAKE UP! As far as my abstract funds are concerned, I paint essentially what I feel in the mood of the moment, listening also. I like more than anything to play with an artistic vocabulary consisting of zebra line of task to transcribe my feel and transmit a poetic universe, very often coded ... I'm not trying to portray a reality, it's about emotion. I paint a little as if I was taking a picture: when an idea crosses my mind and I like it, I imagine the finished painting, hung on a picture rail, to anchor this image in my memory. It only remains for me to give life to this "vision" by painting the painting. The basic idea evolves sometimes. However, as a rule, I try to remain faithful to him, "the first impression is always the right one" ... If I like to use a rainbow of colors, blue (in particular) is the common thread of most of my paintings. It is the color of the sea, but also the color of the sky, which I never tire of admiring. This heaven, I love it, for it belongs to everybody, although no one is its master. It is an eternal space, made of perfection and harmony, inaccessible, but a source of permanent inspiration; a space between yesterday and tomorrow, when freedom takes its essence and imagination, its flight. I always build my paintings as if I was writing a character's story: everyone has a story whose audience must look for the key and conceal a particular message. Some paintings are even interrelated; we must look at them as if we were reading a trilogy, to understand its meaning. In the style of André Gide, I will give the amateurs of the genre a council: "That the importance is in your look, not in the thing looked" ...
