I'm Flup, i dedicate this website to my father, to my mentor Daisaku Ikeda.
Artistic
approach
I use the photo
camera as a medium instead of the paintbrush. I've been doing this
for 34 years, hence the concept of photographic painting.
My approach is
to cut out of the natural and urban landscape the canvas for my
painting, which is essentially abstract in the sense that it refers
to contemporary painting.
It reveals the
beauty of the world of shapes and colors that evoke reverie, poetic
imagination and lyricism, a form of visual meditation that invites
contemplation on the richness of life in all its forms.
This approach is
classified by theme, with abstraction in all its forms - lyrical,
poetic, geometric, minimalist, or as poor art - as an essential
element.
The themes
covered are: skies and clouds, rocks, urban or natural floors and
walls, microscopic elements in earth, water, wood & metal.
My essential
message is to look around you and discover that contemporary art is
everywhere in the natural & urban environment, in the universe.
It's a question of an enriching outside view. It's up to each of us
to detect a part of it.
My working
method is simple: I find interesting areas to photograph, to cut out
of the environment, from the panoramic to the microscopic.
All
my photographic painting are a means of depicting an image that does
not have systematically an immediate association with the object
world. It can isolate a fragment in order to create something unreal
from a real object.
My own main purpose is to convey a feeling, a
sensation or an impression who put you in a different post of view.
It draws away from natural appearances and recognizable subjects in
the actual world & sometime make ambiguity between macroscopic &
microscopic view or the real scale of the view who can be discover
as an abstract landscape who stimulate our own imagination.
