Light
My homeland, Martinique, bathed me in light and colors.
The light of the Tropics is majestic, at times a brutal sovereign who hews out a wide variety of dark, light and colourful facets in everything she touches and animates, on, water as on land. On the sea, she is a magician when she scatters herself as a mosaic.
In Italy, I tasted the light of the Mediterranean. The light imposed itself on me as a naturel but also a cultural phenomenon. It was an element of comprehension and prehension of the real within the unreal in art.
Fra Angelico led me to a space pure light.
At the Louvre, I was nourished by the great book constituted by this museum.
When I returned to Martinique, experiencing of the dawn gave me an intimate and psychic feeling, the luminescent paintbrush of the sun. That moment when the machinery of nature cracks open, spreading throughout space what I view and experience as a fluid, a liquid light that advances like lava on the peaks of the clouds.
My feelings brought me, through the medium of paintbrushes, to try and capture this magic. It connects me to life's spirit of perpetual transformation, where one element makes way for another.
It's a challenge.
