Working in New York brings new ideas in my art: I develop a very personal painting on the theme of mental maps creating landscapes or cities that do not exist, which are not. Everything comes from my own imagination into a fully rendered abstract. I want to make my art more present, more rooted in the time & New York life looks ideal as a source of new creations. Each creation is like an emotional, symbolic & representative connection with the city.

Based on the particular configuration of Manhattan, I try to recreate the complex relationship of man to its urban environment, makes with buildings and not so much free spaces.

Manhattan is made higher than the buildings each other, straight and perpendicular lines. I recreate these vertical and horizontal sensations and realities, very typical to the city.

I find that bridges are symbolic in New York, as ties of a ship that grounded retain Manhattan.

Using more and more gray or brown colors, I bring with a pop art touch in my last compositions, trying to work with nuances.
It's a good way to contrast more dark side with bright side, one particular point of view of the city.
