Nature morte, 2005

Samuel Azuelos  

It is useless to present Samuel Azuelos, as his personality forever marks those who have had the pleasure of admiring his paintings. Samuel Azuelos invites us on a journey to the heart of Morocco and the Orient, in the flamboyance of colors that are unfailingly attached to him.
Everything is silence and beauty in this art so imbued with spirituality, endowed with a strange spell and through which the spirit finds fertile nourishment. Samuel  Azuelos  transcends the subject in his constructed works, stripped of accessories. The towns and villages he paints bear witness to a thousand-year-old culture and still
alive. Jerusalem, Qumran, symbolic places of faith, of the religious heritage immortalized by the Dead Sea Scrolls among others, arouse in him a feeling of eternity, it is the passing of the founding witness between generations for so many centuries. .
Intimately tight, as if to protect themselves, the secret houses, closed in on themselves, with walls pierced with narrow and rare windows obey a rigorous geometric cutting, a bit like a puzzle in which each piece is delimited by a decisive line.
From this unique art, so personal, emerges an interior and exterior radiance, an incitement to reflection in a climate of indisputable spirituality.

All his paintings radiate a deafening heat and vibration. The only question we would like to ask is: what will be his next destination?
