Early Works

Learning to make art was like taking a journey through the many developments in art of the past, without fear of being influenced, but aware that at every encounter you find something of yourself.  The works’ originality is not so much in the search for something that has not been done before, as in the unique combination of subjective perceptions and past experiences, from the colourful explosions of Fauvism to the reconstruction of multiple points of view of Cubism. Below is a short review of Guillaume's artistic development.

 
  • Imparare è stato come fare un viaggio frequentando le molte visioni artistiche del passato, senza timore di essere influenzato, bensì consapevole che ad ogni incontro si ritrova qualcosa di se stessi. L’originalità non è tanto nella ricerca di qualcosa che non è stato fatto prima, quanto nella combinazione unica di percezioni soggettive ed esperienze trascorse, dalle esplosioni colorate del Fauvismo alla ricostruzione di punti di vista molteplici del Cubismo. Di seguito un excursus della maturazione artistica di Guillaume.

  • Apprendre fut comme faire un voyage en fréquentant les multiples visions du passé, sans crainte d’être influencé, en étant plutôt conscient qu’à chacune de ces rencontres on retrouve quelquechose de soi-même. L’ originalité n’est pas tant dans la recherche de quelquechose qui n’a pas été fait avant, mais consiste plutôt en un nouvel agencement de perceptions personnelles et d’expériences passées, des explosions colorées du fauvisme aux reconstructions des différents points de vues du cubisme.
