AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Gestural abstract painting developed through a spontaneous process of improvisation, layering, erasure and reworking. Gesture, materiality and rhythm create a dynamic balance, leaving the painting process visibly present.

Signature: Hand signed by the artist on the reverse

About the Artist
Étienne Pixa is a Franco-German artist based in Berlin. Classically trained in graphic arts and design, he also developed a photographic practice in his youth, sharpening his keen sense of observation and visual composition.
A self-taught painter since 2000 as well as a musician, his work revolves around improvisation and spontaneous mark-making. Navigating freely between abstraction and figuration, Pixa approaches the canvas as an open field of experimentation—embracing the unexpected, deconstructing, and reorganizing forms in pursuit of a dynamic balance.
Centering intuition and creative freedom, he offers open-ended visual narratives that invite viewers to engage with the artwork and project their own perceptions onto the canvas.
His practice explores the space between abstraction and figuration through gesture, movement and colour. Working primarily with acrylic paint, he combines spontaneous mark-making with layered compositions, drawing on the traditions of Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism and Action Painting.
