Connections and inspiration
THE POWER OF FORM, COLOR AND FUSION.
Painting and creating are a compelling necessity for me, establishing a powerful, life-saving connection between my inner child and the universe. I feel a light warmth, dense and benevolent, like a woollen blanket knitted by my grandmother.
This density guides my hand and my intention in my painting. I then feel in my place, in communion, in the same way as a rooted oak that is there just because it is there.
I always create for a person, with whom I weave the link and connection to deliver this personal abstraction that will resonate with their inner child, thus becoming this blanket knitted by the loved one.
The work begins the moment the person says they want a painting. Through the power of thought, and the intention of the heart, timelines appear, matter breaks apart, portals open, and the journey begins to the ends of worlds. Symbols, messages and keys emerge, and I sketch them in a flash, using charcoal, directly onto my clay-coated canvas. Then comes the colour scheme, which I organise according to how I feel, the seasons and the number of plants I have in my colour library.
The human eye is trained to perceive the visible, the material, and to subjectively appreciate its shapes and colours, because this is more easily available to us. However, there exists a universe of rich and inexhaustible complexity, which vibrates intensely, which exists on different planes, much more evolved than the one on which our world vibrates at present, although things are evolving. This is the world of the invisible, with its myths and energies inherited from ancient peoples who were builders, astronomers, scholars, alchemists and medical men and women.
The universe has given me the opportunity to perceive its beauty and intensity, and to interact with it.
It's a branch moving in a forest, silently changing, it's a whisper you hear, a leaf blowing away on a winter's morning when the wind has died down.
A crazy idea that you don't even know about.
A feeling of having already experienced a situation, of having already felt or having already seen... a vision, a message, a clear image forms in my mind.
I communicate with these marvellous worlds, with an immense responsibility, that of transcribing through painting, a set of forms chiselled on the mineral and coloured by nature, vibrating, piezoelectric, and emitting luminous and beneficial waves.
In his praise of madness, Erasmus wrote:
« It is the worst folly of all to want to be wise in a world of fools ».
So may my madness shine through my work and fill people's hearts with wonder.
