Artistic exploration with FOLIUM MAGAZINE
I am delighted to share with you a recent publication in the prestigious FOLIUM MAGAZINE in Argentina, which highlights my work as a contemporary figurative painter. In this captivating article, I present two of my flagship works: “Rainy Day” and “Childhood Memory”. Come discover how my exploration of spaces and human postures is translated through canvases vibrant with emotion.
The Art of Collecting: How to Develop a Passion for Art
The first step to becoming an art collector is to determine your art interests and preferences. This can be done by visiting art galleries, museums and exhibitions to familiarize yourself with different styles, movements and artists. By exploring different types of art, you can determine the styles and eras that interest you most and start searching for works that suit your tastes.
Art or real estate?
Both areas require a strong knowledge of market trends and developments. Whether you are an art collector or a real estate investor, it is essential to understand market movements to be able to make the right decisions. Both sectors are also highly influenced by economic and political developments, which can have a significant impact on prices and investment prospects.
In art as in real estate, projects are often long-term. Real estate investments require a financial commitment over several years, even several decades. Likewise, purchasing a work of art can be a long-term investment, requiring extensive research and expertise to be profitable.
Contemporary figurative painting
The uniqueness of this art form lies in its ability to tell stories through images. Contemporary narrative paintings are often composed of several elements, which together tell a story or evoke an emotion. Characters, objects and colors are carefully chosen to create an atmosphere and ambiance conducive to storytelling.
Along the way
“If it could be put into words, there would be no reason to paint.” Edward Hopper
Sometimes it is so difficult to look at your own work, to find the words that can replace the images or just talk about it in all simplicity. Edward Hopper's phrase often resonates with me... but the words complement many works wonderfully. I have long written a few lines to accompany the presentation of my works, both to provide context and both to describe my initial emotion. I had the chance to meet Andréas ALBERTI some time ago, whose work I particularly appreciated in portraiture on an artist I didn't know.
Abandonment
The visit had been canceled and was now scheduled for late afternoon. Meanwhile a violent storm had shaken the surrounding area. The central path of the garden presented a certain disorder like the beginning of abandoned abandonment and in the corner of the greenhouse a few buckets abandoned at the foot of a basil bore witness to gardening activity and were the delight of a snail which was tracing its path. path on the…
Sad and angry
I have just learned of the cancellation of an upcoming collective exhibition which was planned for September 2021 at the Casino d'Aix les Bains with a postponement to May 2022. An exhibition in which I participated for the second time with an immense pleasure.
A few weeks ago I learned that the health pass would be compulsory. This news, although upsetting, allowed me to wonder about the…
state places
I think you must have already encountered this situation where someone close to your family leaves you real estate. Delighted, surprised or disconcerted, you feel a series of emotions taking over you and calling upon memories tinged with a certain bitterness. This space, if it has been part of your life path, will take you back to the album of images from your childhood and inevitably project you into an atmosphere of the past.
Imagine a whole story
Have you ever imagined a whole story when passing a stranger in the street? His look, his silhouette, his behavior or his posture seem so familiar to you. You can't help but imagine his world, his living space, his relationships and his passions, where he comes from and where he is going. Like an irresistible desire to imagine your world based on an element that caught your attention and that reminds you of a situation, a memory or a story you have already experienced. Sometimes simply an object, a gesture which is part of this person and which leads you to create or embroider an itinerary or a walk as if to create an imaginary connection or an unreal emotion. It's disturbing sometimes, because a simple gesture or a simple outfit can trigger this perception and appropriate the virtual journey of this stranger, this couple or this group.
You are not alone in feeling this, because...
