Reworking


While reworking paintings, I am beginning to see the accumulation of time that bears the complex flux of nature, strung by the immovable grid which somehow holds it together.

Watteau's theatrical fantasies are born from evening strolls in the park at Luxembourg Palace. The compositions are taken from sketches from nature. His paintings are what I consider to be an outdoor dramatic scene, while not being considered as a landscape.
