Jean-Humbert Savoldelli

I paint for over 20 years ; I started painting by Hyper-realism and Trompe-l'oeil.

I've learned the basics in a special course of decorative painting. The School of Trompe l'Oeil taught me discipline and a certain technique.

Over time, these have imprisoned me in limiting the freedom of my desires and my creative choices.

I managed to free myself from this constraints by radically changing my way of painting on canvas : in 2013, acrylic, knife and abstract expressionism replaced oil, brush, and hyper realism. Frustrated for so many years, my creativity has been very productive.

Instead of showing everything to the viewer, I now give him a support to daydream based on color harmonies, perspectives, verticals and horizontals witch occupied space without ever clogging it.

I introduced recently a new element in the composition of some of my paintings : sand. Mixed with glue and used sparingly, it brings particular look in both effects, that in contrast.
Still no or very few spheres and circle in my compositions, they break, I think, refinement that I seek and disrupt the harmony and elegance that I wish to give to my paintings ..
