Bulles d’espoir
(BUBBLES OF HOPE)
The current socio-political and economic context is a bit of a worry for me. I’m seeing this shadow on a daily basis, and I want to get away from the chaos. As an artist, how can I deal with the present? How can I make the world a brighter place? You might say I’m ambitious. That’s what got me thinking about bubbles of hope. I find peace and clarity when I paint, and I choose new markers to help me detach from reality. I was feeling all the craziness in the world, and it made me want to create universes of positive protest and make people feel good and lighthearted.
Each painting tells a story through its shapes and colors, which the strokes bring together, define, and link. They might be black, white, or colored, and sometimes they remind me of things around me, and sometimes of things that have happened to me. The colors are bright and cheerful, the compositions are fun, and there are a few figurative elements that give it a sense of depth.
When “Les Marais Sing for us at Night”, anything goes. It’s up to you, dear viewer, to make sense of each work and to interpret the bubbles of hope I’m proposing in your own way. “It’ll All be Sparkling Again Tomorrow”. That’s what I’m most hoping for.
