Michel COLOMBIN
Painting and drawing are inseparable. Every painter reflects in his art a large part of his subconscious which takes shape in the line, the volume and the color.
The spirit is receptive in the research that the artist suggests in his creations. Every day must become a new day. Nothing is fixed. It is therefore important to look around, to hear and absorb the attitudes that surround us.
The atmosphere of the conscious and the unconscious conveys a personal quest which always transports us to new horizons, to new questions.
Journey :
Questioning myself from an early age in the effervescence and reflection on what surrounds me, I quite naturally took the first tool that was in my room, that is – to – say a pencil and I I drew the ambient environment in which I evolved: furniture, books etc... Since then I have continued to practice this exercise like a musician who does his scales, at home, outdoors, in the street, bars , concerts, with rigor without overshadowing instinct. From this intense period, I studied art history. Rembrandt, Goya, Vélasquez were for me a real discovery by their virtuosity. The Impressionists who brought out light in a united and coherent whole put stars in my eyes. Van Gogh, Soutine, Bacon struck me with their pain and Hopper, this famous American painter, for his geometric shapes and the loneliness of his subjects in which I find myself. I set foot in the strange shadow of existence to rediscover the scene of life on which awaken beings who are actors in a silent story. These paintings, as well as these Indian inks that I create are messages where balance and human destiny evolve.
