Hello, I'm Mica.

"The first gestures of the canvas are free​,​ freedom is the starting point". Fascinated by colour and the Basque country where he has lived for more than 40 years​,​ the artist Mica began with the first monumental canvases made of large assembled sheets on which he put wood​,​ welded mesh… that he then painted in the colours of the Ikurina thus deliberately limiting the choice of colours. He has now turned to more mobile formats. Modifying his painting​,​ this change in format led the artist to new horizons. His relationship to matter​,​ to pigments no longer has constraints​,​ the artist’s paintings are an explosion of colors. From minimalism to the evocation of a landscape​,​ Mica’s works transmit the breath of energy crossing his region between ridges and rough seas. The movement of the composition is combined with the material​,​ suggesting the use of brushes​,​ knives​,​ sand. The artist works on several canvases at the same time and repeatedly returns to the same work​,​ sometimes he will need thirty passages... Mica is looking for a vibration​,​ describing his work as "sound textures" he perceives the keys he poses as the notes of a musical score. He is currently looking for a less immediate​,​ more internal reading. Mica then lets himself be guided by painting: indeed​,​ autonomous at first​,​ the gesture evolves according to the instinctively appeared forms until becoming captive of the composition that is drawn. I'm a french abstract artist since 30 years who leave in Bask country where I can see mountains and see all the day​,​ so you can find it in my works. Have a nice day. Mica
