Intervariactivity

Passionate about the concept of integration, I concentrate on transcending the classical boundary between the artwork and the viewer. The main feature of my art is interactivity. The key words that support my concept is being interaction (be together), variation (be different), activity (be active). I named this experience: « Intervariactivity ».

My goal is integrate the viewer into my art in a direct and tactile way. I combine this experience with a strong digital (virtual) focus and physical (real) way, through works on canvas, in situ installations, performances, happening or digital works and projects. My interactive artworks engages the public in the artistic process in order to have an impact on their way of thinking about art and concepts. My goal is to enable the viewer to understand the research and questioning that an artist asks himself during the process of experimentation and creation.

My works are mostly built on canvas because it is a classic medium. Among the materials I prefer paper occupies an important place because it is flexible and part of a rich tradition. The choice of techniques is varied; I have a predilection for mixed media processes. In addition on my website, there are for some of my works, interactive virtual duplicates with which the visitors can create a composition and then participate in art projects whose aim is to question our tactile relationship between the real and the virtual.

The work that emerges from the encounter between my work and the viewer is plural. My artworks become personal, variable, changing, permanently reversible and therefore multiple. Each painting, although unique, contains several paintings because each modification made by the spectator induces a new design of the artwork. This is why some paintings are compared with their combinatorial mathematical calculation so that the viewer realizes the multiple component of an artwork.

My aim is to generate a flow of experiences, interactions and relationships with the public that is multimedias.
