I’m a young artist. My work, and mainly its content, is to paint expression, pain, fear, despair, depression... I want to create an impression and emotion in people. How to understand the psychological state. I put myself in every work and what kind of mental state I am in. Every day I did something to get closer to my dream of being an artist and creating, but it's not really a dream, it's my lifestyle. [...] Because for me, creating work is not about making and selling; it's something more. I want to leave a message for people to know that art, more than creating and selling, has the value of evoking some emotion in them, be it good or bad. The only thing that fulfils me is to actively create. I implemented the artistic vision to give purpose and meaning to art.

“My work predominantly focuses on merging the internal emotions of my subject with the external facade and masks people wear in public (hence, the title Deviation from Reality) moving away from the external to the true inner soul. Painting human subjects also fascinates me, with attention always in the eyes.”

At first glance, one might think that the colour is applied in quick, frenetic strokes, but it is quite the opposite. Antoine works on canvas, rationalising each brushstroke, taking distance and continuing the process. His creations are true to his nature: energetic, but at the same time balanced. […] In the present, Basquiat and bad painting emerge in the somewhat swirling form of the brushstroke, in the way in which figuration is almost non-existent, where a taste for abstract figuration and the use of diverse frames that make his compositions very noteworthy by proposing other perspectives of the central motifs is also evident.

The landscape – of any kind I imagine or have ever seen - provokes something inexplicable in me. I paint landscapes because I need to look at them calmly; without the rush of seeing them from a car or from a window or in any way that makes them ephemeral: the clouds, with all the shapes they build up in a matter of seconds; the mountains with all their curves, some more sensual than others; the trees (...). In short, all colour schemes, which if we stop to observe them with our eyes half-open, we can turn them into whatever comes to mind without them ceasing to be completely beautiful landscapes.

Each of my works questions the substantiality of our symbolic identity, seeking to extract new perspectives that remained hidden in its cracks. I’m interested in undermining the illusion of reality and language where they draw limits, barriers, boundaries to the human, imposing ultimate truths.

“The landscape in my work is intended to reflect, in random ways, on the interpretation of my surroundings; marked by the various issues of housing and the need for retreat and shelter, and also the increasingly growing realities around the world caused by the urgent search for a decent habitat...”

“My art speaks where words fail, allowing viewers to dive into the depth of my colour spaces, exploring these worlds of imagination and rediscovering their dreams.”

Figuration was my style for more than 40 years exhibiting my work. Now I have needed to create, feel, and squeeze, breaking with everything established to give birth to everything I need to express. [...] I have learned to unlearn what I have learned... This is the essence of expressive creation. I only keep the knowledge that experience gives me, rejecting pre-established forms and concepts. Absolute freedom. PURE AND DIRECT creation and communication of the soul... Intrinsic essence of the artist and her creation.

In “Antelope Canyon”, there are endless possibilities for artistic compositions. That image is a study of how light sculpts spaces of texture and color into three dimensional layers captured in a two dimensional medium. With his photographs, he wants you to feel what he sees. His passion is to tell visual stories, one frame at a time. More painter than documentarian, the work hopes to showcase an impressionist approach...a type of optical painting. His grouping of images by their common connection to our earth - water, desert, trees and geology, not simply by location - is an expression of his sincere understanding and respect for our world. His artful capture of moments of light reveals an insight into our environment that only the perceptive observer can share (Mark Berndt, photographer, Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States, 2024).

"In my canvases, a drop, different textures, the stain that configures and represents, the smell of the paint that invites the palette knife, the different traces I leave on the painting blend and interact with each other, starting from the fact that each one is the protagonist of a particular story to be told...
