My Serie Gris works are minimalist colour field paintings with grey toned backgrounds where the protagonists appear in an ethereal surrounding emptiness. In this case the protagonists are fishing boats of different cultures and the surreal element is a man fishing one of the boats out of the "water?" It intends to generate a feeling of uncertainty when confronted with the surreal setting but also wants to trap the viewer through the harmonious colours of the boats and backgrounds. It is a homage to the unexpected, which, at often times, becomes the norm. Oils are the perfect medium to depict the ethereal hazy atmosphere and at the same time sharp detail when needed.
