La Linea

“I was fortunate enough to grow up in the 70s and 80s, a time when I think the joy of living and innocence defined the era.It was the birth of a whole host of heroes, simple and cheerful characters who enriched our lives with a certain light-heartedness.

Initially, I revisited several characters to introduce the “funny” side of my paintings, and particularly one, which became the subject of a long series of small-format artworks: La Linea.

A simple line that brings humorous scenes to life against a hyper-realistic backdrop. An inexhaustible source of inspiration…”

Portraits

“This series about female characters consists of two parts. The first draws a parallel between the animal and human gaze, each opposed within the canvas. The second part pays homage to the masters of classical painting, particularly the rigor and elegance of portraits by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and John Singer Sargent. Beneath a high degree of realism, the female figures in period costumes form the backdrop for a comic narrative.

I inject the spirit of FUNNY ART by introducing anachronistic and illogical elements that disorient the viewer. These works are modern and colourful fables, where technical mastery serves to create a humorous contrast between the solemn subject and the playful detail.”
