When Walls Remember — A Figurative Reading of Décrochages
The Memory of Walls
Some places keep speaking long after we have left them.
Their walls retain the trace of gestures, of absences, of suspended breaths.
In Décrochages, I invite the viewer to listen to that silence —
the silence of a world frozen between care and abandonment.
Contemporary figurative painting here reveals a rare power:
that of giving voice to the inanimate.
A sink, a few pipes, orange stripes, a forgotten mask —
so many signs of a time when hygiene became both a symbol of anxiety and of redemption.
True to my visual language, I blend architectural precision with pictorial emotion.
Each line breathes with tension — between order and chaos, measure and fragility.
