Interview
Why combine photography and painting?
These two visual arts are intimately linked to represent reality, and here a dialogue is reinstated to make photography a little more fictive. A sort of augmented image, in fact!
Your inspiration, notably your artistic inspiration?
A delightful mix of portrait photographers and more classic European painters, a little pop art, and some sculpture!
What characterises your works?
The coloured aspect, an unwillingness to refuse a certain technique or material, the artisanal aspect confronted with digital adjustments, spontaneity, and above all the importance of sourcing images so that the magic can work!
What is the context for creating this series?
This series was intended to reunite these two arts which are too often put into contraction, and to pay tribute to the first sort of manual adjustments, which came through painting.
An anecdote for us?
The “little squares” image, done partly with a utility knife, actually began with a domestic accident, thankfully with no aftereffects!
Your slogan?
Do it yourself with what you have.
Your upcoming projects?
Continue making new compositions, collaborating with other artist-photographers, perhaps from landscapes too, testing new techniques.
Your YK favourites?
The eclectic aspect of the collection, with a penchant for the Colorama series, and Autopsie, whose approach and results have, to my mind, a real historic and aesthetic interest.
