Where is my painting situated

1) the roots, similarity with existing trends

Romanticism: by the dissolution of the hues, the evanescence" Turner, William Blake, Samuel Palmer"
Symbolism: because representation symbolized by objects, characters, landscapes linked to the unconscious psyche,

Gustave Moreau, "

Chagall and his religious themes

2) Modernism

The Surrealists

and more particularly Max Ernst in his decalcomanias and collages

Visionary and surrealist painting

Archaic biblical reference, reference to the immortality of the soul, to the afterlife, past and future visions.

 Possibility of being attached to Singular Art, a movement of painting to which are attached both the painters of art brut, marginal art or mediumistic painters like Auguste Le Sage.

I can be considered an abstract visionary. 

I started painting when I was about thirty and quickly, I did nothing else. The second year I made nearly 300 paintings, as a child I only had to look at spots on the wall or the floor to see characters, forests, scenes from life appear, I learned later that Leonardo da Vinci, Matta, Max Ernst also had this possibility as many young children have. Today I only have to stand in front of my canvas for something to happen, I never ask myself what I am going to do. I simply start painting like the surrealists did, I apply color, without thinking too much about my gestures or the shapes, I take my colors and I apply them where I feel. Very quickly, I compose the canvas as I go along, according to the different visions that appear to me. I let myself be guided by the inspiration of the moment, by the colors, by the shapes that I perceive.
