What is art?
Is it an expression of beauty, is it an expression of the artist perception of the world around, is it the manifestation of the malaise of a decadent contemporain society, is it supposed to please, to shock, to make you think, is it to force you to develop your imagination, is it a tool to help your transcending the reality, is it supposed to bring new ideas, new conceptions, and new messages?
Art is really all of that.
But my art, that consists essentially of portraits and still life, is the interpretation of the way my eye perceives beauty in every face, in every object, and in everything that surrounds me... it can be the corner of a door, the smile of a child, or the waves of a marble countertop!
Banality can evoke beauty.
This crock that I painted, reflects all the simplicity of a domestic life, it
touches somewhere a very ancient kind of collective consciousness,
everyone has come across sometime in his life this kind of object that
brings back memory of childhood of some sort…
One sentence that I always have in mind when I paint, and that every artist should remember: painting is drawing in colours!!!
