My artistic practice is a constant questioning and reflection upon what surrounds me. It can start in the London underground, in a park, through a simple phrase or a quick portrait of an unknown person. However, even if those surroundings are diversified, there is a common ground that is indispensable in the way I interpret them, drawing. It is a systematical and fundamental first approach from which others follow. Among those, painting stands out.
The medium selection depends always on the way I want to incorporate different meaning and feelings in my work. A larger range of choices means versatility, a fundamental aspect that allows me to constantly question my practice and the results I obtain.
Besides those, concerns regarding visual features such as the differences between how a human and a camera visually perceive the word end up being important in my practice. With this in mind, I tend to find mechanisms that help me to better depict time and space in order to address those questions and nuances. These can be grids, focal points or even the scale of the painting.
Even if there is a personal interpretation of what surrounds me through my art practice, those surroundings end up being part of a common reality, and as any artist, I intend it to be shared with the viewer. Concepts such as psychogeography, mapping or social geography gradually gain an important influence in my work and its consequential reflections.
