My arrival in California 7 years ago impressed me so much that I became a painter. I realized how perspective fails to communicate the gigantism of space. Photography and film have appeared to me ever since as instruments of control that capture the viewer's attention and freeze them in their environment.

​

Since then, I have tried to reverse perspective: put the viewer at the focal point of the painting, free their gaze and make them not master of their environment, but able to engage in a living interaction with it. I want to break down the false sense of domination that certain mechanical images offer, by creating another way of describing the world. Neither chaos, nor a dry engineered photography, but a nature-inspired way of looking.

​

During the Covid crisis, I had an illumination contemplating a blooming star magnolia: this magnificent tree has a semi-crystalline structure. Inspired by this vision and the mathematical works of Sir Penrose, I developed grids based on the golden ratio and harmonic series, creating dozens of focal points in a single image, and which I use in my abstract or figurative compositions. They are completely different from the usual perspective grid, and join some very old works on human representation and space.

 

My new body of work is also inspired by the way in which covid has revealed the transformations of our society. In particular, I suppose that covid has revealed how fragile is our relationship with the environment, demanding more technical protection and intense control.

My preferred mediums are watercolor on paper, egg tempera and tapestry. Watercolor is quick and versatile, impossible to fully control, which allows randomness to express itself. Tapestry is a very slow process and allows me to introduce tactility in my images with organic dyed wool.
