Everywhere I go in a city or a town, I take pictures of elements which interested me in order to paint them later. Gates, barriers, balconies or fences are recurrent elements I am always interested in. For this project, I wanted to focus on two specific cities that matter to me – where I live and where I work. After having been for a walk through the place I chose, I then took pictures of my favorite elements and created the composition to paint it. My own interpretation of the painting composition can make us think about surrealism or dreams. There is a confrontation between realism of the structure and surrealist composition.
In addition to it, the city of Neuchâtel offered me a grant to support this work.
