Michel Boudib

Alongside professional practice of painting trompe l'oeil, Michel Boudib has always pursued personal pictorial research.

His work as a muralist allowed him to practice on  infinite surfaces and explore many techniques: tempera, ink, acrylic, oil, sillicate, lime and more recently the Japanese coated paint.

Inspired by longstanding Asian painting Michel Boudib addresses figurative abstraction with the desire to discover the brightness of the mineral aspect along with the depth of oil painting. Landscape materials that evolve as the eye approaches, troubling perspectives  along with simplified volumes and processing the strong presence of the mineral/crystaline aspect which  captures one's attention. The compositions of the artist are in line with his direct natural energy. In the abstract series, the gesture is released; games of transparency and opacity play out with the momentum of the jet. A painting that gives the illusion of privilege  and the fleeting nature of the moment. The relation or connection  to the moving body is also present in his practice.
