Foundations #19

Description

In march of this year, I started working on a new series involving multi-layering, and overriding shapes. Drawing and playing with colors and opacity. It started with squares and grid, it then involved deformations, and circles and other experimentations. This path fits with my artistic generative approach: rather than having a completely predefined idea, I start with a simple concept that evolves during creation. Then surprises happened, and I embraced them. But this year was not like any other: 2022 has gifted me with a new birthday, the one of my son. Over the past twelve months, I’ve watched him discovering the world surrounding him, learning and trying new things, laughing, or getting frustrated, sad or happy… While learning to become a parent, I’ve been in an introspection phase where I questioned what it means to be “a father”. What impact will I have on my son, consciously or not? “Foundations” takes shape in this context: 2 humans trying and exploring while being inspired by each other. This series is a first of a set of at least 3, that illustrates an idea of what is an “Identity”, and what makes us who we are. The foundations of an identity are laid in the first days of a child’s life. They will be influenced by many factors; including parenting, cultural environment, life experiences… Of course, as humans we are in constant evolution; life happens, sometimes for the best, sometimes for the worst, and our personality will be impacted… But this will be a topic for another time. Today, we are at the start.
