The philosophy of Vertige is based on two fundamental principles. First of all, it is a spiritual reflection on the place of the human being in the universe. Secondly, the choice of abstraction as well as the style adopted allows the spectators to facilitate the feeling of introspection in order to reach a higher state of consciousness.

Each work is thus defined here as a universal sanctuary where the observer is invited by the contemplation to put down his luggage, the time of one moment, in order to be able to isolate himself from the world and to return in oneself to let express what there is of more deep and spiritual in him.

I was very interested in Optical Art during my graphic research. But I find that Op Art lacks animality. Works that are too regular like those of Vasarely or Carlos Cruz Diez betray, in my opinion, an absence of impulsiveness. I therefore sought to combine the rigor of Optical Art with the bubbling of lyrical abstraction.

During the realization of my paintings, when I draw the lines, I always take particular care to make the process a little bit random. In this way I ensure a structured but lively result!

The crossing of the white lines produces an optical vibration and thus makes the spectator's brain enter into a sort of visual hallucination, quite disturbing, that is what I try to exploit.

My objective is to retranscribe through painting a phantasmagorical vision of reality. A vision so powerful and so universal that the spectator suddenly enters a kind of hypnosis.

As if bewitched for a short moment by the triumphant storm of these innumerable multicolored lines laid before his eyes. I hope that upon discovering this invitation to travel he will let himself be lulled into these abysses of colors.

Vertigo is a kind of initiatory journey to access an inner world. Because it is indeed to what there is of more whole and spiritual in us that this work addresses. Beyond the beauty, it acts as a safeguard against the weight of each of our wounds. It is the allegory of a celestial portal dedicated to contemplation and meditation.

Faced with the tumult of daily life, I need an escape. Artistic creation as a whole is a form of outlet. At least it is for me.

Vertige is the result of a long process of maturation. It took me three years of work and several hundred trials to find the right balance on the canvas.

Universal symbol of life, the color is a primordial stake in this step. It allows me to provoke an emotion in the viewer. Combined with a second, then with an infinity, the chromatic flat tints seem to answer each other creating a dialogue with the soul of those who look at it. Vertigo is above all a spiritual painting. It is a positive message in this universe troubled by chaos.

Once completed, the painting is transformed into a mystical space that seems to be free of all gravity. To transcribe a suprasensible perception in a material world, to make the impalpable tangible, this is the leitmotiv of Vertige.
