BONUS:
I’ve recorded a demo of a song freshly born named ANIMA. It is a pretty fragile melody, maybe with some melancholy inside but not that weak, you’re welcome to read its story & lyrics HERE
• LE PORTEUR D’ÂMES …
(this is my latest painting, click for the details)
This painting was intense and has a deep meaning for me.
Of course you can notice the main big bird as a central character.
But it’s much more, all the entities are circling around it.
Melted with one another like Mayan’ glyphes entertaining mutiple significations.
I interpret it as an ark of souls, its french title means “soul bearer”
In its feathering (just like birds with seeds) it carries new entities …
From the Sky … to the Earth *
• Some paintings …
( to see more, HERE, HERE & HERE – to order click HERE )
To paint has always being a challenge, because of the meanings i’ll have to guess once the work is over, but also the details and dedication it involves. I usually let them and myself mature in parallel. So i can come back to them (as them to me) at different periods which is a nice way to enrich our respective entities. There’s always a story inside of the story.
• Some drawings …
( to see more click HERE – to order them click HERE )
Once again you’re invited to click on the images to get it full-size, here are the latest series of “Drawinks” (drawings with gouache markers born from indians inks backgrounds).
• The linocuts …
( click HERE for more )
This series was started in january 2019, when i discovered the old linocut’ kit my mother used to have in the fifties. It was moving and i knew i had to try it. Although this is a totally unknown territory to me, i found some pleasure and happiness working this medium. My approach is the same here, i start from scratch just like if if was a sculpture, i don’t prepare anything & see / let it appear. The smells and touches were nice and i look to do some more, here are the first ones (description & titles to be added)
• Anamorphæ & Gratiæ
( Temporary “preview” pictures )
These are two of my steatite’ sculptures (2018/2019). Anamorphæ was my first one with this kind of stone and it was a pleasant discovery. I enjoyed it even more than wood. Once again, this is the humbling process that pleases me, there is also a magical feel to work of such a raw piece of mineral Nature, knowing the result, future entity, is already inside of it. Waiting for you to discover it, after thousands years of life, making the meeting between the stone and the mind/hands even more moving.
• Collaboration Gee Vero
(click HERE for more informations)
I made this drawing as a part of a project called “The Art Of Inclusion”, which was started by the german artist Gee Vero.
In April 2010, when World Autism Day went unnoticed in Germany, Gee conceived of The Inclusion Project. At that time, she was drawing half-faces of people. Her concept was simple. She would send prominent people half-faces to complete along with a letter explaining the project.
Her letter states:
“I am inviting well known people to take a step towards inclusion together with me. I am asking them to come and meet me in their own way on my picture which will then become ours! We would be showing in art something that we are still light years away in reality: tolerance, inclusion and acceptance of autistic people are not an illusion. Even two worlds that could not be more different can exist on one common territory, not just next to each other but with one another! The Art of Inclusion grows as it goes.”
• A Stride On The Moon
(click the pic to enlarge)
This project ( in progress ) will be the largest painting i ever made ( to this day ). Its size is approx. 260/218cm.
It represents a new challenge (born in Feb.2019), as i’m always taking a lot of time to complete a painting (months to years, so we can grow in parallel). But although it might ask quite some time, i guess it won’t be “years” before i finish this one, because it feels like the first chapter of more to come.
This painting will tell a story of an out of time meeting between two entities. Each elements echoing the so called trinity of past-present-future of the characters. It may enlighten the interconnections of people, from different origins but in the end never separated. The experiences of people might differ but their lessons and the knowledge to get from them, is the one thing allowing us to realize we are from the same Source, with the same thirst for fulfillment.

Bonjour aux francophones,
Au moment d’écrire ces lignes, beaucoup de temps s’est écoulé depuis que j’ai partagé des nouvelles.
Voici présentés dans cet article, un bon nombre des dernières oeuvres que j’ai pu mettre sur mon site internet.
Tout n’est pas présenté, et les liens à suivre pour en voir plus, sont à votre disposition.
J’espère que vous prendrez plaisir à voir les couleurs et à inventer vos interprétations de ces travaux. Leurs titres sont autant de pistes pour en retrouver l’origine. Je suis toujours curieux de découvrir les ressentis exterieurs, n’hésitez pas à m’écrire.
L’existence des créations, ne tient qu’aux interactions qu’elles entretiennent avec la personne qui les ressent, en cela, elles dépendent de vous. Aussi, sentez-vous libres de les partager, en vos zones plus secrètes, avec les autres … voyager et faire voyager, là où nos sens pourront trouver un nouveau … sens. C’est bien là tout l’interêt de l’art et de la vie en générale.
MERCI
To Be Continued *
