Circus and harlequins


In
Traveling Circus a trapeze artist is trying to find her balance, while HE is sitting quietly looking away, letting her hang out to dry... On the ladder doomingly dark near demonic figures climb up and up. An allegory of our world? The circus, clowns and harlequins are grateful subjects. They have strange and wonderful costumes and can express a range of emotions, from the intimate to the grotesque and the subject allows an explosion of exhilarating colors... often you'll find these people wandering in magical-mythical landscapes.



In Appled , where he combines image and words, he shows us how tenderness and happiness can be right under our nose and we still don't see it.
