About me

I'm a professional painter as a secondary activity, and in civil life I have an exciting job, and painting is one of my many hobbies. However, I have been painting and drawing for more than 30 years, which assures me some skills in this field, as I practice various techniques.

Since 2016, as I'm always looking for a new work area, I've been wondering about pop-art. Would pop-art favor form more than substance? In my opinion, the concept is more in the attitude given to the work than in the work itself. So I explored this track by returning to the foundations of what defined the pop-art culture, according to the definition given by Marcel Duchamp at the beginning of the 20th century, namely the fusion of the notions of work of art and art. decorative object.

In this way I revisit in my own way some strong currents like cubism, impressionism and even classicism by reinterpreting them. Since 2018 I have developed my technique to black and white through a range of gray, to further sublimate this work and bring me closer to the old photography. I am also planning to explore the gray grayscale trail, which will be a new focus of research.

I paint life, emotions and love. I capture souls, and my work is focused on the color of feelings with a specific search for a "other" feminine, or my dual ideal, since this person can not, in my opinion, have real existence. This is the reason why I reinterpret portraits essentially.
