Collage

In my collages I use various pieces of paper as a painter’s palette: every piece of paper is not an image or illustration in itself.

Most of my collages are anthropomorphic.

The anthropomorphism is the attribution of human morphological characteristics to objects: one speaks about anthropomorphic illusion.

This art dissimulates the human body by assimilating it to the space of the work itself and has a composite and multiple vision body: the body is the place of exchanges and metamorphoses.

An image can thus hide another image: a considerable number of traditional, realistic and modern works can be reconsidered under the day of an anthropomorphic conception. Accidental or intentional, the faces or human bodies appear in the decor in the form of rocks, in clouds, in torrents or in other any objects …

The dissimulation of human figures is explained in a classic perspective by the symbolist intentions of the artist for whom the intrusion of double images can put forward an allegory, that is an indirect representation which uses a thing as sign of another thing.

And others use the anthropomorphism to avoid the censure.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo, an Italian painter of the 16th century, uses animals, fruits, vegetables or objects in his portraits.

In Salvador Dali the picture is seldom constituted of only one facet and the eye of the one who knows how to look will be taken by a palette of visual illusions, as so much chimeras emerging from a dream.

In the paroxysm of the dissimulation, the enigma without end contains a multitude of forms: the apprehension of the one form is possible only by the cancellation of the other forms.
