What to paint in 2021?
As I am a living painter in 2021, I am the first witness of what is happening to me, of what concerns us. For me, painting is a process that aims to make the viewer reflect on his condition as a human being. I try to link a colorful aesthetic that contrasts with the more serious subject. My paintings can appear as decoration but the subject is less light. So here is the concept: A couple of nurses facing the first wave hold hands with love and hope in the face of the wave of deaths. In the background, the jungle from which the virus emerged, causing zoonosis. Devastated jungle which is the immediate consequence of our mass consumption.
We can also observe that only the faces are in warm colors, to mark the humanity of these two beings. Protective equipment - made of plastic - demonstrates the fact that we are no longer in symbiosis with our environment, our mother earth.
