Artist

CORDOVELIAN is the signature of a series of paintings created by Mathias, a French artist born in 1956. Mathias has been inspired by Roman statues and Greek profiles in plaster that he studied for a long time at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in France. Then, influenced by surrealism and the works of Pierre-Yves Trémois, he has been producing this series of paintings which makes us dive into a vast space between psychology, poetry and fantasy. The different works evoke the multiple personalities that coexist in our minds. We are constantly harboring contradictory thoughts and ambiguous feelings. Often we say yes when we mean no. We affirm something and dream of its opposite. Even more, by trying to hide our deepest personality we reveal its most intimate alcoves or flaws. Buried dreams are often the mirror of our most inescapable truths.
