AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
To the Moon and Back is an oil on canvas created in 2020, during a period of intensive artistic research devoted to figurative portraiture on a large format.
Inspired by the universe of David Hockney or the work of Andrew Salgado, I stage characters with assertive attitudes in compositions where color plays a central role. Hands tinted blue, purple, yellow or green constitute a recurring element of my work. They introduce a symbolic and spiritual dimension, creating a deliberately unsettling contrast with the realism of the figures.
Both artistic gesture, creative power or instrument of realizing dreams, these hands occupy an ambiguous role: seemingly secondary, they often become the true subject of the work.
This painting belongs to a series of about ten paintings created in 2020 around this same reflection on color, identity and representation.
I am a French designer and painter. Through large-format oil painting, I explore the links between contemporary figuration, color and symbolism, with particular attention paid to the presence of the body and to the expressive force of the hands.
