In a society where the visual image, whether desired or imposed, is all powerful, the artist builds his work around the scenes of daily life, even the most intimate: a young woman in a forest, a man stepping across the threshold of a door or sitting at a kitchen table, scenes which are usually described as the banality of life, but which the artist always treats with a generous amount of mystery – there we say abstraction – through the splashes of colour which are frenetically applied to the canvas.
