Monsieur Térez  

From his studies in Art History, Mr. Térez was influenced by two great French figures: Jean Dubuffet and Hervé Di Rosa. Like these two artists, he frees himself from hierarchies, codes and social conventions. He goes from graffiti to modeling, from simple or wall sculpture to children's drawing, with the same desire: to escape the cultural impregnation which locks each artist into patterns induced by the force of inheritance and transmission. To free his art from his influences and references, he opens his work to the spontaneity of “child's drawing". At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, studies showed that the free drawings of toddlers were the basis of the phases of individual development. This aesthetic disposition is considered primary and universal, since everywhere on earth, whatever the continent, ethnicity or confession, the child will draw himself in the same way.

This global graphic language is the one that Mr. Térez decides to adopt. Appealing to the collective imagination, his works are timeless and forever modern. Driven by the desire to speak to as many people as possible, he made primitivism his philosophy: seeking in the other and the deep self, a more raw, purer, more impulsive way, always imbued with expressiveness.
