Biography
I create images experimentally. These images can be monochrome or polychrome (ocher, blue, red…) or colored with shades of a particular color. These images can appear to be “purely” abstract but they can also make one think - sometimes in an obvious way - of flowers, insects, objects… But this figurative aspect is not what I seek most and, in my work, this is rather anecdotal but sometimes quite funny. A precision which seems to me to be important: apart from the color which one can freely choose, all the images which I present on this site were obtained only by calculation. One can perfectly not have particular mathematical knowledge but say to oneself "mathematics can give that?" and if in addition you find my images aesthetically interesting then the proof would be provided that mathematics can be a source of astonishment, daydreams, emotion even beauty. Having studied mathematics or more accurately tried to understand a - small - part of it, I have always thought, although the idea is not new, that one could create images using: - Mathematics (from base obviously) - A programming language, - A computer, - And a screen allowing you to view the results. To produce such “mathematical” images, I set myself three more constraints: - The first: to create images only using equations or mathematical transformations, - The second: not to use existing techniques including j I know about fractals, for example, - The third: not seeing the mathematical and computational nature of images and that is what constitutes the real difficulty to be overcome and which is at the heart of what I do. This third point is very important because it means, among other things, that I am not looking for I do not know what feat or mathematical performance, such as for example making images of complex mathematical objects. I only try to make images, if possible of a new kind and which can present, from my point of view, an artistic interest and that is it. And it's already not so bad!
