About The Artwork
This small ravine is not easy to follow, there is no marked path, there are stones of all sizes everywhere, the clay edges threaten to collapse, in short, you must have good shoes. This landscape changes, I would paint it now, it would be different. So I'm happy to freeze it in this state, after heavy rains. They ravished the relief, placed the stones on top of each other, dug holes, transported blocks, like those in the foreground. I tried to render all the tones of the stones and plants as precisely as possible. The stones all seem gray but in fact they have all the colors of the palette, attenuated by the clay dust which gradually covers them. The composition is structured around the two sides of the ravine, one in the shade, the other in the light. I hope I have arrived at a balance of light. The location of the stones is important, those in the foreground on the right must be the starting point of a visiting path which gradually sinks towards the bottom.

I'm a French painter and engraver, born 1954, living en Chile for 12 years. The required level of skill to make good etchings allowed me to become a more demanding paintor. I like the technical challenges of painting and engraving. I have been teaching painting in Chile for 10 years. Figuration for etching, hyperrealism and expressionist abstraction for painting are what I prefer to do. Engraving: My work is done in at least two stages: a plate for the image support, and another for tattoos. This superposition allows me to create encounters between cultures that have never met (example: the mask of Tutankamon with Ashentis tattoos). My goal tends to renew the view that the viewer has on the various elements. Abstract painting: The Chilean culture made me know runes, which have lost their original meanings and acquired here a magical dimension. I abstractly report the magical meaning of these runes. Hyperrealism: In my landscape paintings (I fell in love with pampas and Chilean deserts) I try to erase the effects specific to photography rather than trying to approach a photographic rendering. I do not want people saying "it looks like a picture" but "it looks like reality". But as nature does not care much about pictorial rendering, the reality is rarely as it appears on the painting. Especially since I usually add a detail denoting the human presence.
