Description of the Artwork “WHAT IS LIFE ?”
I painted this painting live, during a performance. I had mounted a big brush at the end of a 1m20 bamboo stick. It gave me distance. I was listening to the music and suddenly the work started. It was intense and very pleasant to create this scene, without even have imagining it before. This large painting is very dynamic. The character in blue in the center questions himself. The others are some sort of response. The linen canvas is mounted on a quality wooden frame. The whole was painted in oil and is varnished. There is a small scratch on the blue bottom, which makes this canvas available at a very good price (see one of the pictures). But it makes a very beautiful large fresco in the spirit of street art work.

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).
