Description
During the first confinement, I painted individual portraits of members of an imaginary family that I called 'Rick's family' inspired by the universe of fashion designer Rick Owen.
In this family, Heaven is in my head, is the image of an absent father.
He is elsewhere, locked in his own nightmare, an archaic world where one does not express his feelings.
I started with an image of prisoners in their outfits.
The character is in tatters. He would like to free himself from his costume and reconstruct a face, a skin, a filter, a protection.
I wanted it to be an image in which you can project your despair, take it out to free yourself from it. An image that creates a dynamic of healing, of well-being.

Presentation
The portraits of Daniel Derderian are singular cries for love. They seeks to highlight the tension between strength and fragility.
The artist works in a hurry, torn between the unlimited fantasies of a wild child and the moral compass of a socially integrated adult. He twists and shapes his imagination between reason, emotions and impulses.
After a career as a dancer at the Ballet National de Marseille Roland Petit, the Het Nationaal Ballet in Amsterdam and the Ballet du Nord, he moved to Paris and worked as a dancer and actor in the world of entertainment.
At the same time, he began his work as a visual artist on his own.
His first works were collages based on X-rays – clinical material that shows the inside of a body objectively.
The portraits are images of his mental constructions and deconstructions; dance expressions in the head.
