Description
This work comes from the cargo ship Anna S, in operation. 225 m X 32.33, built in 2001, sails under the flag of Liberia. This ship carries 40,000 tons of bulk cargo. Having left the other side of the world, I waited for it to dock in Lorient. This ship fascinates me, as it seems at once imposing, powerful, massive and suspended. The ratios are reversed: the black evoking the depth of the waves has become light, capable of supporting these 75,000 tons in total. Emerald green, so serene to move forward!

About the artist

My universe comes from the quays, places of permanent exchange between men.

Originally the sides of ships are smooth, united. The movement of the Earth, the attraction of the Moon and the tide do the rest: clashes, slashes, boats pitched upright. docks, sores on the uniqueness from the start which I like restore the beauty : Resilience!

Promotion of the sea and sustainable development: Is the union of these two parameters possible? I confront it by creating works forming a maritime universe open to today's world, colorful and dynamic. Enough to allow public appreciation, and therefore generate a positive image, a thousand miles from outdated clichés or watercolors for tourists.

My approach consists not of run around the world polluting but at a low cost wait for the boats to come from the end of the world to my house.A

Zero ozone art with solvent-free inks for numbered prints made here, in the country of Lorient.

This art has another aim: to give to the entity which will use my works contemporary image elements relying on a modern pictorial dynamic. Artistic creation is used here as a vector of communication, both internal and external.
