Alter Ego is the question posed in two paintings: Who are you when you turn around?

Two canvases. One same geometric grammar. Two different responses.
The semicircles organize into a precise visual ballet, where each shape finds its mirror in the other panel, but slightly offset, slightly transformed. Like a reflection that does not lie completely.

The acrylic texture brings a physical, tactile presence that goes beyond the mere visual impression: the material captures light, creates soft shadows, gives life to each flat area.

Alter Ego does not decorate a wall. It dialogues with the viewer.

In hanging, the diptych creates a strong architectural presence, perfectly at ease in a Haussmannian interior as in a contemporary loft.
