Jacques Ayel

Each painting is a unique and special experience. It is above all a spiritual adventure. Thanks to the play of materials distributed on the canvases, accidents caused by chance, colored games, the surface can begin to live, to take a desired orientation which will open the sessions of painted experiments. The choice of binder is important, glossy or matt, oil or acrylic. I sometimes use fluorescent pigments to show with the help of a UV lamp, the same paint lights up by itself: it's the “kiss cool" effect, it's another way of enjoy. 

I would like the following concepts to be found in my paintings:

Light / dark
transparency / opacity
grain thickness / fineness
smoothness / roughness
