“Last Day – or When the Landscapes Are to Come” is a series of several paintings created over a period of ten years, developed in parallel with other works. Some of the paintings have undergone multiple modifications over time.

The pictorial space is, in a sense, always a landscape: it can be the equivalent of the last thing one sees in the final moment of existence. “Last Day – or When the Landscapes Are to Come” comprises various layers and references. In each piece, there is an attempt to create such an image: I aim to interpret the last landscapes that can be created and seen; the last thing we see – the end of “seeing” – and the final frame.

As these pieces have been created over a long period, they bear a historical component and advance the question of painting on an artistic path. They are notably characterized by multiple techniques and diverse pictorial spaces.

The pictorial space is a context for confronting different forces. In “Last Day – or When the Landscapes Are to Come,” we see various types of spaces: subjective elements, adaptations from the history of art, and elements of a historical-subjective nature. Together, they narrate a long journey – a journey that can end at any moment, at any “now,” in any frame.

In this series, I explore the question of historical vision through an eclectic and multi-layered approach: it is a long exploration resulting in a series full of details, emerging from a lengthy and complex journey. The path seen in this situation “now,” when looking back, is simultaneously “unactual.” It is contemporary while aiming for a historical analysis at the heart of the contemporary experience.

We murmur for a long moment: ups and downs, doubts and mistakes, enchantments and interpretations are explored layer by layer, like an archaeological site. Each layer reveals a period, an anecdote. In “Last Day – or When the Landscapes Are to Come,” the results of internal and external searches come together, evoking the final pictorial space, where the landscapes approach us from afar; we see only the last image captured by our eyes.

Last day includes 28 works of which you can see some examples below.
