Description
How to scrutinize everyday life and its objects.
What should we remember?
Their beauty? Can we still see it? And what is beauty?
Does something have to be beautiful to be painted?
Or does it need to be sublimated?
First, let’s sharpen our gaze to make it sharper!
Looking better allows you to see more clearly.
In order to capture the essence of a subject and lay it bare, we must abandon precision to grasp its overall reality.
The paradox is that it requires taking a distance to get closer to it.
With this step back, the object is caught up in space and integrated into its environment.
With further hindsight, space becomes landscape. The depth makes it larger but also vaguer.
Links are forged...between what is close and what is far away.
Travel, painting, experimentation.
