ABOUT THE ARTWORK

About this piece: Sometimes, I give particular pieces a title of their own and this one is titled Les pèlerins (the pilgrims). Through the storms and rainbows and dews and dawns, I imagine a constellation of travellers. They are like stars, they walk individually, in solitude and silence, but they share the same motivation: to reach a holy place, to shine, to transform darkness (that wine coloured sky) into light. About this Collection. Les Météores: According to etymological dictionaries, the word “meteor” comes from Medieval Latin and it refers to “the celestial phenomena, things in heaven above”. Therefore, it includes all meteorological elements from wind, snow, rain, fog… to aurora, lightning, thunders. Then, beyond the atmosphere, shooting stars and meteorites arrive: alien matter becoming a meteor until it reaches the ground. For this series, I observed all these heavenly bodies and, through colour, lines and compositions, interpreted what I sensed, translating it over paper. Les Météores series is a reflection around the contrasts and transits between the tangible and intangible, light and darkness, sound and silence, movement and stillness. An exploration of the many reveries we often enjoy while looking at the sky and wondering about all its mystery. Les Météores is a series/collection of 7 pieces that comes two years later than From the river bank series. Many elements are still present such as creating space through stripes and geometry, searching essentialism and pure abstraction, but the inspiration has now shifted from earth to air. In some pieces there is still a search around matter, but others focus more on ether. A particularity of the 5 first pieces in this series is that they are presented in a round format with no square support in their background. They all have a diameter of 55cm. The technique used is lithography except for number 5 and 7 that are also made from collage. All pieces in this series belong to a limited edition of 8 and made with hanhemulher paper of 300g.

Born in France, but adopted by Barcelona decades ago. I run my printing workshop, Quadrat 9, located in the Poblenou area, providing printing services for artists from all over the world, while developing my own creative process. The result of witch I have now made available for costumers of Saatchi art. I am moved by the matter and texture of paper, often combining various techniques: collage, xilography, litography, in the same piece. My inspiration is around energy work, meditation, oriental traditions such as zen, the observation of nature and expressing what is around us, visible and invisible, in its purest forms. My aim is to bring peace, inspiration and reflection through my work. In the recent years, it has been shown in both individual and collective exhibitions in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, France, Germany, Sardinia and Norway.
