Artist's Comments

Dusk's falling on my decadent reality. My everyday landscape keeps drowning, I'm a microscopic orange stain in a rusty universe. I hope you'll come tonight... Surprising thread of my thoughts, my guide and lover, let me cross again the dark frontier of my fantasies! So close but uncertain to reach, this blurry paradise hides behind my eyelids.
Release me... and I'll fade like a drop in the infinite ocean of a dream.

'Below the Rust' is actually my biggest painting (it is 1.2 x 0.8 meters wide), and the one I have spent the longest time on. Five months, doing an average half-time work. The fact is that I can't help myself doing those small details that nobody can see. Using a 1-hair brush on a canvas that wide is totally insane!
This is only oil paint on canvas, but before starting to paint I made many sketches, and even a colorized version with photoshop (to set up the right colors).

Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.

I've had a good look at it now. The detail, the transition form the above-water to below-water world (and the change in textures), the abstract perspective.....just amazing.

Great work!

Stunning, breath taking, absolutely wonderful. It's not completely insane to use 1 hair brushes on a piece that large, it merely guarantees detail no matter how close or far away you are.
