Anatomy of feelings
This work is about the journey into the subconscious landscape: shadows, cracks of light, tight openings and closings, masks, insect or vulvas shapes, hips bones, faces appearing in otherwise abstract forms, the couple and the trio...
Pliures originelles / Heroic–Erotic
I have not been able to translate the title "Pliures Originelles", in which I mean to evoke the primordial instincts of sexuality and creativity. Pliures means folds, in the body the folds are founds at vulnerable or intimate parts. This theme can be found in my work over time, it is also a symbol of breathing, the air going in and out like in an accordeon. Floating around these paintings is a feeling of the unconscious, the feminine sexuality and the birth process.
These works are created with a technique which allows an element of surprise, in which I am not overly in control of the development of the painting. The results of the process are everytime very similar and very different.
The series "Heroic-Erotic", seems to holds the quality of a tall masculine erected figure (they are human size), sometimes even warrior like (Heroic), with the open hearted feminine (Erotic) empty centre, the crack that opens on the Mystery.
