A fictional representation of the ruins of a cathedral. Actually they're the ruins of a factory which in many ways is modern time cathedral. You can find analogies with religious rites: - smoke = smoke of incense (=prayers) - the chimneys = pipes of the organs (meant to impress the audience) - those operating in the factories = the priests - the workers = the laymen - the high burners = the altar ... and finally the god worshiped in factories is Mammon.. the god of money....

Colorblind artist born in Geneva in 1960, grew uo in New York. I'm currently working in London and Geneva. My artwork is based on the introspection of human relationships or rather non-relationships. It depicts superficiality, solitude symbolically expressed by the opposition of organic versus non-organic, light and darkness and archetypes inspired from Greek mythology. I work in chiaroscuro atmospheres where light rips it's way through darkness thus showing a way to a new stage of optimism. I'm mainly influenced by black/white thrillers and horror movies of the 60's; it explains my choice of a figurative style, the chiaroscuro atmospheres and the use of large formats as a reminder of movie screens. It's a therapeutical work dealing with ghosts from the past: the fascination and fear of the city, friends and solitude, separations from people and places I loved. I work on canvas, kraft paper or watercolour paper with ink and acrylic paint. My technique consists of brushing a first layer of sepia or black ink, then a layer of diluted acrylic and finally a thicker layer of acrylic. When I work on paper the process is the same but more importance is given to the ink layer and the final acrylic one is more discrete.
