huile sur toile, 100x100cm
I am a modest painter. I do not claim to discover America, nor do I have any authority in Contemporary Art. I only try to make visible what I see, as I see it. In “A Philosophy of Solitude,” the British writer John Cowper Powys considers humility to be the most important thing in the world, the second being pride. I have given to humility, so let’s move on to pride: I am a voyeurist. I seek to manipulate the desire of what I see. A voyeurist is not a voyeur because the latter is focused on sexual desire, nor is he a seer because it is not the desire for the future but the desire for the present, this presence that I see and wish to make visible to art lovers. This presence is another name for light and glory. Spotlight… But, well, art is for those who want it, and here the voyeuristic painter shines as best he can. Do you see what I see?
