Original artwork description:

I have a sculptor approach to painting. What happen with the paint, this material, fluid in a pot and then dry and solid on canvas ? What happen in between when spread on a plan 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. I used some kind of flat mould under the canva whiche holds the paint as i sroke the surface with it. The surface is smooth with here and there layer of thicker paint.
The varnish used is semi-mat

Materials used:

Oil paint, lacquer, canvas, wooden strecher, light varnish matt, string.
