Hyperspeed fruits, 2024

Series of three oil paintings. Various Dimensions.



“Hyperspeed fruits” is a series of three oil paintings that revisits the classic genre of still life. After immersing myself in 3D technologies, virtual media, artificial intelligence, etc., I felt the need to return to painting, a fragile and “imperfect” medium that directly highlights the flaws in my human gestures. This series marks a turning point in my approach, distancing me from my more digital and conceptual works in order to embrace the fragility of oil painting, while still holding on to my fascination with the underlying logic that governs both the universe and our interpretations of it. Between colorful fruits, enigmatic codes, and a reference to a cartoon character (Gary, the slow snail from SpongeBob SquarePants), these seemingly disconnected images, contrasting the organic nature of the fruits with the rigor of the structure, including our dear Gary, are placed on the same level, with no hierarchy, simply for the pleasure of making these elements coexist.
