Description of the Artwork “BRIGHT SOURCE”
During this period, I painted the coming of the luminous information. Both that of the sun that allows life on earth, and all the information that circulates today in the optical fiber. When we look at this painting, we feel that things come to us from the depth of the canvas. For this series of paintings, I was using dripping, without touching the canvas with brushes. But unlike Jackson Pollock's lines, I threw the paint perfectly vertically, in order to produce a coloured rain that only formed dots on the canvas. I was all time in discussion with the colours to feel those that would make the light explode, or precisely those that would produce the darkness of the depths. At that time, I had chosen not to sign my paintings on the front, so that it would be possible to expose them in four different ways. Two vertical and two horizontal.

My paintings symbolize creative thinking patterns. I give visuals to listen to. "Who speaks, who hears, who listens?" I think that observing and giving these imaginary characters a regular voice will stimulate your creative thinking. It is your thoughts that these characters will express. That's why my characters are full of emotions. Often some even change their expressions according to the points of view from which they are viewed. They allow us to change our point of view and to make our reflections evolve. For a long time, I first painted the coming of information in an abstract way. An accident at the workshop cut me off from the use of my hand for two years. It was during my re-education that I decided to overcome the handicap and to arrived to paint my characters as I had always drawn them. Since then, I have been designing progressive installations-painting: compositions (see Instagram @ottxavier).
