Description of the Artwork “Origin of the World”
This 2012 painting is a mixed technique, pencil on white oil, on an acrylic base. The whole is a tribute to SolLewitt's work. This conceptual work, on the hole of the first perception of light, from the inside. It is very symbolic artwork. It refers to the Origin of the World of Courbet.

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).
