Clin d'oeil, Picasso Print

If we know exactly what we are going to do What's the point of doing it. Pablo Picasso "Escape and extirpate from the depths of your entrails this animal, passionate being, accompanied by its overflow of repressed emotions and finally give it a reason for being, give it the power to express itself, constantly nourish it, until 'until it invades you' Everyone has their own way of approaching art. As far as I am concerned, and if I go back to my most distant childhood memories, it was without a shadow of a doubt always motivated by an insatiable search for freedom. This absence of hindrance that only drawing and painting have always offered me. Gradually remove one by one these elements that I would call "disturbing", and which connects you to reality, to this visceral anguish of doing wrong, of not pleasing, of disappointing. Escape and extirpate from the depths of your entrails this animal, passionate being, accompanied by its overflow of repressed emotions and finally give it a reason for being, give it the power to express itself, constantly feed it, until until it invades you. This is perhaps why drawing, painting, were always a necessity for the neurotic being that I would undoubtedly have become without the contribution of this real breath of oxygen. This is also why I do not remember a moment, as far back as my memory can go, when I put down my pencils and my brushes. More or less cured of this fear, today I am in a completely different process. That of exchange, that of exhibiting this sensitivity, that of revealing oneself. Maybe it's pretentious, who isn't? Perhaps it is presumptuous, but the very idea of ​​provoking emotions for as many people as possible, of exposing oneself in this way remains such an intoxicating sensation that it seems difficult for me to do without it. No art school. Minot I did not want to let myself be locked into a kind of straitjacket that I did not feel, at the time, really constructive, in a purist self-taught approach that I claimed. No matter…. hard work and passion allowed me to explore my own paths and make my own mistakes. But why the horse, will you tell me? Well I would say dating. First of all with my wife, this wonderful and passionate being, who shares with the horse this same bond that I share with painting. I have devoted to these sides a real passion for this curious quadruped. This inextricable bond of freedom and becoming one with the animal.
