Why street art influences my work
The Art of Layers: Capturing the World's Speed Through Matter
Because the street is the most honest and raw mirror of our times. City walls overlap, tear, and constantly reinvent themselves. To translate this urgency and visual richness, a single technique was not enough. I chose to adopt a hybrid practice, at a crossroads.
My work does not aim to faithfully reproduce what I see. It is rather a sensitive interpretation of these experiences. A color glimpsed on a facade, a particular light, an architectural detail or a scene from life can become the starting point for a painting, a digital artwork or a photograph.
The rapid evolution of our society is also a major source of inspiration. New technologies, communication methods, urban transformations and environmental issues constantly change our relationship with the world. Through my art, I explore these changes, the emotions they evoke and the questions they raise.
Between abstraction and observation, my works translate this fascination for human and urban landscapes. They invite us to look differently at the spaces we cross every day and to perceive the beauty hidden in the perpetual movement of our era.
For me, urban art is much more than an aesthetic influence: it is an inexhaustible source of reflection, emotion and creation.
My creative process is Urban Archaeology:
· Urban photography allows me to capture the moment, a light, a fragment of a wall or a movement in the crowd during my travels.
· Contemporary digital art intervenes to disrupt reality, fragment the image and inject the speed and saturation of our connected world.
· Collage embodies the very aesthetic of the street — that of superimposed posters, the passing of time and intertwining cultures, the evolution of modern society.
· Painting, inspired by travel, finally unifies these layers. Through gesture, color, and material, I restore an organic and sensitive dimension to the whole.
I don't paint to freeze time, but to dialogue with it. As a nomadic painter, my studio has no borders. My travels are a constant immersion in the pulse of metropolises and cultures in transition.
It is in the heart of this effervescence, where society evolves at a frantic pace, that my work originates.
