Artwork location: France

This artwork is a masterful abstract piece, characterized by its bold and dynamic brushstrokes that create a sense of movement and energy. The composition features a collection of figures rendered in a palette of earthy tones, interspersed with vibrant splashes of blue and ochre, lending a rich contrast and depth to the piece. The figures themselves are indistinct, their forms blurred and merging into one another, which evokes a sense of unity and interconnectedness. This lack of definition invites viewers to interpret the scene in multiple ways, engaging the imagination and provoking thought. The use of broad, sweeping strokes conveys an emotional intensity, while the layered application of paint adds texture and dimension. A unique aspect of this work is its ability to balance chaos with harmony—the individual brushstrokes may seem erratic, yet they collectively form a cohesive and intriguing whole. The placement of color and form is thoughtfully executed, guiding the eye across the canvas in a fluid, almost rhythmic motion. Overall, this artwork exemplifies a contemporary approach to abstraction, inviting contemplation and offering a powerful visual experience through its compelling use of color, form, and movement.

The Lingering Human

"The aspect of waiting plays a central role in my paintings. Those who await, in temporal time and space, on the road, stuck in a specific state and in specific frames, unvolentarily."

"I observe in diverse and distinct environments. Train stations, subway systems, benches, city squares."

"The painting is both a process, and a search. The canvas seems to hide its final destination until the very last moment, with impasse lurking. I seek harmony between colour, form and line, and I am in pursuit of the contrast between brittle and coarse. The canvas is an enigma, which attracts and fascinates me."

"I am caught up in solving the mystery."
