Painting Nacre by Coueffic Sébastien | Painting Realism Oil

I see myself as a painter of free figuration. This allows me to make my painting a playground where I exploit reality, photos or compositions based on personal research.
Through the use of color and the distortion of forms, I question my notion of elsewhere,
how a tagged truck can inspire an exotic evocation, or palm trees set off against an urban backdrop...
In this way, exoticism takes on a phantasmagorical form in my perception of the banality of everyday life.
