These paintings portray themselves as an invitation to discover, and invitation to experience a wild and untamed Mother Nature into which I plunged into myself during visits to the Amazon, Asia, or Africa. Each landscape is the culmination of an expedition lasting sometimes several days and from which arise such evocative titles as “Dugout: 10 hours” or “4x4: 36 hours”.
So that the viewer can judge the vulnerability of this nature, its primary essence is removed – its dominant colour. Deprived of its oxygen, of its chlorophyll, the forest turns red, disturbing, it attracts the attention of the walker and gives him the sensation that something is missing. Starting from the premise that colour is meaningful and provokes emotions, I ensure that the spectator feels the lack of colour as a sign of fragility.
