ANTOINE CORREIA

“Claiming painting as a means and expression of human testimony makes Antoine Correia an heir and continuator of the great pictorial tradition. Here is an artist who dares to shake up the criteria of beauty and harmony, opposing them those of excess, those of a morphological deviance more adapted to the truth of a society in need of being. Correia's brush tears off shreds of skin, transformed into pictorial reflections. »  Lydia Harambourg
