Blondiau Louis

I am a landscape painter. I paint with oil on hardboard and I use a scratching technique. My works are painted in a variation of greys. I use very few colour because I think that colour is not fundamental in the process of seeing. More important are contrasts, movements and depth which I achieve with many fine scratches and a lot of attention to values. I think my technique permits to catch the reality in a better way than what traditional painting does. In other words my paintings look more real in black and white than they would in color.

​

I am interested in the reality. I try to represent the reality as it is felt when we look at it. I try to paint the feeling of being there in the middle of nature. I try to paint this impression that we sometimes have when looking at the nature of a dissolution between inner and external worlds.
