When I was a child, I used to like to lie on the ground and watch the snow fall. I loved the feeling that allowed me to see these snowflakes coming from far away. This large fresco was made by dripping. The painting was painted only in oil, without ever touching the canvas with the brush. Many colors are included. The signature here too is on the back of the painting, so that it can be displayed in different ways. After the accident I had in my hand, I spent a lot of time observing this painting. I was impressed by all the changing aspects and movements I could perceive in it.
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).
