Original artwork description:

I have a sculptor approach to painting. What do i do with this material which change state from fluidity in a pot to being dry and solid on canvas. What happen in between is what interest me. Through a process i create an image rather than starting from the idea of an image. I trust material and frontality to always enter the field of "representation". So the sheer presence of the painting is often overwhelming because there is no conflict between the medium the technique used and the image it creates. Like an object, real in its own way. The atmospheric specter of colors emphasize this aspect of a painting that want to reach beyond the abstract to a illusionistic rendering of reality. The surface is smooth with here and there layer of thicker paint.
The varnish used is semi-shiny.

Materials used:

Acryl paint, canvas, wooden strecher, light varnish and string.
