<p>Looking for the first time at your work "The Navajo sorcerer" I could not help thinking of <a href="../index_EN.html">K. Schwiter</a>'s work, particularly "Das Sternenbild" (1920), and also "Mz26, 41 okola" (1926).<bR>
Is there an influence of this artist on your work ? Could you tell me which artists have marked your artistic practice an perhaps still influence it today, I think to M. Chevallier for instance.</p>
<h2>My influences : Kurt Schwitters Pablo Picasso</h2>
<p>I know <b>Kurt Schwitter</b>'s work and Braque's and <b>Pablo Picasso</b>'s collages touched me particularly, but if my research led me to the way of collage the reason is less cultural than technical.
<h2>Mes influences : Andy Warhol</h2>
<p>Regarding technical choices, the most undeniable influence is that of <a href="http://mapage.noos.fr/tbijon0001/EN/achats_H.htm">Andy Warhol</a> - even if I am in a total opposition with him on the conceptual point of view . In 1994, as I was studying electronic and more particularly the algorithms of image processing, I was brought to consider the relationship between those algorithms and <b>Andy Warhol</b> technical painting practices.
<h2>Joan Mirò Henri Matisse Pablo Picasso Pierre Soulage Mark Rothko</h2>
<p>On an aesthetic point of view, according to a Kantian meaning, <b>Joan Mirò</b>, <b>Henri Matisse</b>, <b>Pablo Picasso</b>, <b>Pierre Soulage</b> and <b>Mark Rothko</b> gave me the liking for color</p>
<h2>Carl Freidrich Casper Yves Tanguy</h2>
<p>On an aesthetic point of view, according to a Kantian meaning, Carl Casper Freidrich and Tangy gave me the liking of mystery</p>
<h2>Jean Dubuffet Raymond Hains Antoni Tapiès Jackson Pollock</h2>
<p>On an aesthetic point of view, <b>Jean Dubuffet</b>, <b>Raymond Hains</b>, <a href="http://mapage.noos.fr/tbijon0001/EN/textes_H26.htm>Antoni Tapiès</a> and <b>Jackson Pollock</b> gave me the liking of texture.</p>
<h2>My influences : Francis Bacon</h2>
<p>I feel close to Beacon when he explains that work on canvas is the start of building every work instead of its achievement</p>
<h2>shamanism Yves Klein Antoni Tàpies</h2>
<p>The true spiritual dimension of <b>Yves Klein</b> or <b>Antoni Tapiès</b> works exercises also a high influence on my research which is inspired by a shamanism vision of the universe.</p>
<h2>My influences : Peter Beard Andy Goldworthy</h2>
<p>I think of <b>Peter Beard</b> who, by painting on his pictures, lays the foundation of mixing painting and photo and thus suggest an answer to the question raised by Walter Benjamin about the replicability of works. I will alos quote Gerard Richter for the remarkable lesson of freedom he gives when he demonstrates it is possible for a contemporary painter to conduct his pictural search in many direction, and also <b>Andy Goldworthy</b> for whom time is a full component of the work.</p>
<h2>My influences : Miguel Chevalier</h2>
<p>At the 95 FIAC, I discovered the <b>Miguel Chevalier</b>'s 0 and 1 series. I could then notice that numeric formalism was liable to meet with a favourable reception of the public and that <b>Miguel Chevalier</b>'s work was going to create a new classification where I could include my own search. This comparison with M. Chevalier's work encouraged me to persist on the way I intended to follow.</p>
<p>Henri Matisse, Kurt Schwitters, Pablo Picasso, Joan Mirò, Antoni Tapiès, Pierre Soulage, <a href="http://mapage.noos.fr/tbijon0001/EN/textes_H.htm">Raymond Hains</a>, Yves Tanguy, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Yves Klein, Jean Dubuffet, Francis Bacon, Peter Beard, Andy Goldworthy, Miguel Chavalier</p>
