This work belongs to an ongoing research around what I call the “co-author”.
While painting, I progressively realized that a part of the image always escapes full control. Certain forms emerge unexpectedly through matter, relief, gesture, light, accidents, and movement around the painting itself.
The co-author may be interpreted in many ways:
the subconscious, intuition, memory, chance, perception, or something spiritual that remains impossible to fully define. The question itself is part of the work.
My process often begins with a simple cross placed at an interstice, a point of passage between dimensions, structures, directions, or forces. From this opening, the painting progressively builds itself through layers, reliefs and transformations.
Depending on the angle of observation, hidden forms, volumes and spatial readings begin to appear. The viewer becomes part of the activation of the image.
This piece represents an important step in that research, which is why it holds a particular place within my work.
