Locked Awareness, 2022

Palo  

Painter and doctor born in Toulouse and living in Limoges.

My painting is part of a resolutely contemporary approach, often abstract,

I draw and paint with passion, greed and even voracity from a young age. Not being formatted by any school of thought, I try to maintain a naive curiosity that allows me not to forbid myself and to walk carefree where the brushes guide me.

Painting is not a hobby, it is a necessity for me, in the sense that it is an expression of me. I do not paint what I see, nor even what I think but what I feel, rid of parasitic thoughts by trying to free myself from any kind of judgment. In this sense I qualify my approach as “pre-cognitive", very raw, intimate, almost psychoanalytic or meditative, and always underpinned by great sincerity ... very direct.

I approach through my painting the themes that are dear to me such as Consciousness, matter and the Void, space and time, entropy ... in an instinctive way, using and abusing movement, color and matter ...

I explore constantly, trying to free myself from rules and speculations or mental hesitations in order to know myself ... as Socrates recommended ... maybe to know the World.
