Discover art. Get discovered.

Mathieu Flammarion

About

At the beginning, there is silhouette, not yet a body but already a figure. This presence questions and makes manners, references and means meet together.
Those colour stains speak about being, reinvest it in images and symbols which found our cultural identity, beyond ideological and aesthetical misrepresentations.
How can we think beyond our ideas of ourselves building over years? How can we rethink hierarchy included in all of ways of representation? The questions mustn’t be asked only compared with History of Art, but are enriched by the world and carry all that has made and make human being.
Choosing spontaneity and graphic accident make possible a lot of understandings, a postulate that beyond evidence of visible, answers stay unresolved.
Aged of 35, live and work in Paris.
