Presence

by farade nicolas

With a primary palette, I aim to create inter-dimensional spaces. A place where space-time is in motion, where curves meet lines, expand and intersect.

As a manifesto of my mental state during isolation, these paintings represent a state of Presence, a Presence to oneself, as well as to one’s environment allowing self-observation.

The mind can thus flourish without constraint, leaving room for creativity, intuition and concentration. With these drawings, the hope is to convey something about energy, seeds that are germinating...

It is an invitation to connect with yourself, a lonely, experimental voyage throughout the consciousness, towards an infinite race. Somewhere in between.

«From the need for this spiritual awakening comes Presence, a silhouette that he presents in a first book edition; Embodying a consciousness, a visceral daily introspection. Productive but discreet, Nicolas above all seeks sincerity and appeasement, ousts false values, gets closer to his true essence. Meditation, creation, tranquility and freedom punctuate his solitary balance, a momentum that goes from the inside out. In his monochrome work, he questions identity, isolation, purisms of ultra-geometric forms, a conversation with kinetic art. In 2023, he will release Presence: Act III, a synthesis of the last three years of intimacy, living, and vital journey.» - Words by Clarisse Prévost
