My painting is primarily abstract. What it I like to paint are the unrealities that populate my imaginary. The daydreams of shapes and colors that squirm, interpenetrate, repeated ad infinitum, scramble inside my mind. Sometimes also, single silhouettes or almost breaking away from discreet or explosive background force themselves to my mind. Observers recognize a African esthetics with my works. The Ivorian that I am, can not give it up. To paint real things, is certainly not my intention. But, the patterns, designs and colors of African fabrics inspire me. These first images which I liked to look at and whose my imaginary is impregnated, are regularly present in my painting… Why the abstract? First, because strarting from nothing to reach the "beautiful" after having wandered on my canvas without knowing where I was going to and what I would end up with, keeps me in suspense and makes my heart beat ... Then I love this beauty without special meaning, which thus impedes nor the imagination nor the dream: « SHAPE FOR THE SHAPE, COLOUR FOR COLOUR, AND OUR IMAGINATION FOR THE REST... ! » |
