Description
My work is part of the contemporary neo-figurative movement. I rely on the visible to reveal the unusual within the familiar, the depth beneath the surfaces, the being beneath the appearance. I enjoy generating curiosity and wonder. I am interested in the marks left by human experiences. I highlight the dignity of workspaces and encourage a careful look at what everyday life obscures. I direct the gaze where it doesn’t naturally go, in order to discover meaning, humor, or hidden beauty. A row of scooters in the street, a messy construction site, a workshop, a familiar place seen through a distorting mirror are things we often overlook. A careful gaze allows one to perceive a density of life, to capture the visual poetry born from the interplay of light and reflections, the proximity of colors, the play of lines and shapes.
