My artistic process concerns geometric abstraction. It is an abstract mental construction based either on the balance of shapes and colors coming from my interior imaginary, or from the abstract representation of a reality that has captured my attention, my eye.

Elements of a reality that seduced me are taken aside and constitute afterwards the main subject of the future painting. These elements could be colors, lights or geometric forms and are then transported in a geometric way into a composition where the initial reality is present but in a shematic way.

In my painting series about lights (Paris by night, Cab, Orscha by night) I retranscribed in an abstract way city’s lights to make revealing a city panorama varying in accordance with the painting’s subject. The lights in these paintings constitute the principal object of the composition and are represented by lively colors faithful to the initial reality. They stand out of the background like a light that glitters and create a particular rythm in the geometric construction of the painting. This geometric abstract transcription can be interpreted as a deconstruction of the reality, a disorganised pixelisation of the subject.
