Stéphane Villafane

Stéphane Villafane… Difficult to write about the work of this artist to present it to you… Because is it really necessary to give you the keys, and which ones? Or shouldn't we just let you discover, feel, immerse yourself in his works in order to love them? There is a phrase that Stéphane uses to talk about his work which in itself sums it up perfectly in our opinion: "My works tell nothing, they are only attempts to escape all narration to place themselves in a meditative perspective" … Perspective, meditation, escape… Dreamlike? No, because it is more a question of "mental visions" of horizons, spaces, landscapes devoid of temporality but within which the perspective of the right comes into play. And / or, depending on the works, can also be the fragmental spectrum of the glass between blurs and reflections through which the gaze focused on a landscape is lost, escapes. You will not be surprised to learn that Stéphane is an architect by training… and by profession, whom he has combined, in every sense of the word, with his eyes, his art of painting for more than 20 years. One serving the other with the common denominator sublimation in the alchemical sense of the term space. Our gaze, our mind, not to say our soul can then escape there, between aspiration, inspiration, and… meditation. 20 years of painting then, but also of photography, sculpture, or digital art. No matter the medium, only drunkenness matters. And it is his paintings that Art Traffik is happy to present to you, to make you discover. Here is a “Coup de Cœur” that should soon enter our Master Selection and quickly gain popularity, now that Stéphane has decided to focus and invest even more in painting and his career as an artist. Needless to say that we encourage it and are promoters! To be continued!
