A few words
When I look at my painting, I'm fully aware that they question our memory.
Let's say, to put things simply, that memory has two sides. The first, the sorrow oriented one, speaks about barbarity, genocide, annihilation, hopeless plea. The second one shifts towards happiness, harmony, the fervent pursuit of beauty.
One could pass from one another.
When this came to my work, I welcomed the event or the advent of Venus : an unfinished tale made of some 30 odd paintings of rather big dimensions :
- Aphrodites hours : often connected to the fall, bathing and race running. 1993-94
- Nymphs and Universe : figures chasing one another among storm clouds. 1995-96
- The birth of Venus : hieratic figure coming out of the sea. 1996-97
- The company of Venus : earthly landscapes under the rhythm of the seasons. 1998-99
