Souvenir d'une passion éphémère

Concept

My works explore abstract art with a distinctive technique characterized by the predominant use of black paint on a white canvas. This approach creates a striking contrast that immediately captures the viewer's attention. The majority of the canvas is covered in black, a color that evokes mystery, depth, and infinity. In my works, black is not just a color; it is a vehicle for raw emotion, contemplation, and sometimes even melancholy.

This omnipresent black serves as a backdrop for vibrant touches of color, which occupy a minority of the space on each painting. These bursts of color are not placed randomly; they represent specific objects or elements, carefully chosen for their ability to tell a story or evoke a particular feeling. For example, a touch of red might represent a flower, a symbol of passion or life, while a dot of blue might evoke a drop of water, a sign of tranquility or sadness.

The aim of this juxtaposition between the dominant black and the vibrant colors is to create a visual and emotional tension. The black draws the viewer into introspection, while the touches of color offer an anchor of reality, a point of recognition and personal connection. This duality allows each viewer to project their own feelings and experiences onto the work, creating a unique and personal interaction with each painting.

By using this technique, I seek to provoke a range of emotions and thoughts in the viewer. The contrast between black and vibrant colors invites meditation on the duality of life: shadow and light, the known and the unknown, calm and storm. Each painting thus becomes an exploration of the unconscious, a mirror of the thoughts and emotions of those who take the time to delve into it.

My art is therefore an invitation to reflection and personal interpretation. Each work is a silent conversation between the artist and the viewer, where the vibrant colors offer clues and the vast expanses of black leave room for imagination. Ultimately, my paintings are visual explorations of the complexity of human experience, expressed through a limited but deeply meaningful palette.
