Cubist Rhythms
Attracted by the repeated and rhythmic geometric forms, the play of lights, colors and materials that one encounters there, I was very quickly interested in the urban landscapes that offer us business districts, industrial zones and construction sites.
In this serie, I wanted to play with reflections of lights, colours and structures on glass buildings fronts, to create true paintings made of concrete, iron and glass.
All colours, structures and repetitives effects are naturals ones. By focusing on, I want to highlight them all the more.
Very early on, my artistic vision and sensibility were strongly influenced by the great currents of Modern Art (cubism, futurism, constructivism, surrealism) and their artists (such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Maria Helena Vieira Da Silva, Alexandre Rodtchenko and Mark Rothko). All these influences have subsequently found their way into the aesthetics I've set out to develop.
Attracted by the rhythmic repetition of geometric shapes and the interplay of light, color and materials, I soon became interested in the urban landscapes of business districts, industrial zones and construction sites. Using the structures of these "ultra-urban" environments as a starting point, I aim to create paintings in the colors of steel, concrete, glass and wood.
Yet these images of another reality are simply photographs of our reality: either self-sufficient in terms of the frame they are given, or with a double homotheticity, vertical and horizontal. In the end, the visual effects thus created are simply an amplification of reality and its subjective perspectives.
Theis approach has enabled me to emphasize the geometric structures, colors and rhythms that make them up, thus inventing a new reality of reality.

about the photographer
A passionate photographer for almost 30 years, self-taught after a year in a preparatory art workshop for the Beaux Arts, I live and work between France and Ecuador. Alongside a professional career in the fields of graphic design, publishing and packaging, I have continued to cultivate and deepen my practice of photography over the years.Very early on, my artistic vision and sensibility were strongly influenced by the great currents of Modern Art (cubism, futurism, constructivism, surrealism) and their artists (such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Maria Helena Vieira Da Silva, Alexandre Rodtchenko and Mark Rothko).
