“Beauty mark”: a swimming ritual
Today, I would like to share with you one of my works that is particularly close to my heart: “Grain de Beauté”. By creating this painting, I wanted to capture a moment of tranquility and contemplation, by choosing a high angle view of my wife sitting on the edge of Lake Annecy and about to jump into the water for her moment swimming favorite.
I have known this procedure for many years and I still take great pleasure in contemplating its ritual. Very often, I make a quick sketch of his preliminary postures. This is also the case for the work “Backless” that I painted after this one, moving slightly to the right.
“The glacier of the Alps”
My goal was to capture every detail precisely, from the textures of the clothing to the facial expressions of the individuals. This attention to detail helps create a dynamic and immersive atmosphere, where each person seems to be telling their own story.
The queue which extends in depth adds a dimension of realism to the scene. The use of perspective helps show the background and the characters lined up, giving a sense of movement and constant activity.
"Rainy day"
Today I would like to share with you one of my recent works entitled "Rainy Day". This painting captures a moment of tranquility and reflection, a scene that resonates deeply with my love for nature and the calming solitude it can offer.
Made from a preliminary sketch made on the shore under the shelter of a bus stop. It is an acrylic work protected by anti-UV varnish on a 100 x 70 cm linen canvas and it is delivered with a certificate of authenticity and an international deposit certificate. It is also framed with an American box in light wood. (See photo at bottom of page)
“Pareidolia”… a work of art with two faces
Visual pareidolia are part of optical illusions.
I wanted to talk to you about this work born from a sketch and a reflection following a debate with a friend, a painter like me. Together, we often discuss the course of life and its evolution. From memory, it seems to me that the comments made came from the observation, or rather from the way of evoking the term resilience through the current human posture.
