Approach
at the heart of gestural abstraction
Inspired by the spirituality of Kandinsky’s art,
“The spiritual in art and painting in particular “, the attitude of the artist is essential: does he choose to please, to pay attention to the aesthetics of the moment or does he choose to engage in a process of creating truth, taking the risk of not being recognized in the forms that are created? Because what matters is not the identification of forms or the interpretation of all these forms. What prevails is their authenticities with the creator and the resonances they form in unity, born “of an inner necessity” felt by the artist. The process of creation is then inspired by this inner feeling connected to the soul, the universe, Nature, sources of creation. It becomes the creative process for the artist.
Lulled by Pollock’s Freedom and the Abstract Expressionism Movement
My pictorial writing is not meant to be “thought”. It is personal, intuitive, felt, resonance, vibrations of the mind. It is freedom in the process of creation, because it is the freedom of the gesture that prevails and not the method. The subject is Self in what it is today towards what it really is.
When I connect to my being, to Nature or its spiritual reality,
to the beings of this world, I connect to creation.
It is an opening that I work through meditation, by letting go, by living the experiences of life, in order to be as pure as possible in my reception, to allow to pass through the gestures of energies without rewriting them. Gestural abstraction is truth: truth of the moment, authenticity with what I am at the origin and unity with Nature. What I work fully, I can transmit.
The true gesture
It is the choice to approach one’s own tool so that the being, the body, the gesture, the median tool and the pictorial sign become one. Painting with the touch of my fingers allows me to enter into the pictorial gesture and the creative process of the true gesture. It is as if my feet were planted on the ground and my perception of reality no longer needed physical boundaries.
The sincere commitment to a better world
Gestural abstraction has no order, no starting point on the canvas. It is the guided gesture, invisible to the eye, which poses, intermingles, writes, chooses, rhythm. It is only after painting, that we see. The supports (canvas, paper, color) are a receptacle of sharing where what the gesture retransmits begins to live and resonate so that the finished work vibrates with the people who feel it in its energies. The balance, the framing has its own marks within each creation.
The pictorial gesture on canvas or paper is not an end in itself. It is the means of sharing, the vehicle of energies that will travel without time limit outside the frame to others and for others.
Gestural abstraction is, for me today, in the image of the humanistic intentions of artists of the abstract expressionism movement, a pictorial approach to illuminate a brighter world.
