About the artwork:

Original artwork by the artist Daniel Airam, this painting depicts the portrait of a man painted in a classical style. His face appears through a decorative blue pattern that covers the entire surface of the painting, like a veil that both conceals and reveals. This contrast between the figure and the ornament blurs the reading of the image and gives the work a contemporary dimension, reinforced by the golden frame reminiscent of traditional painting.

About the artist:

“The persistence of graffiti and the immutable beauty of Flemish portraiture, both born from codified systems, celebrate singularity and share a common memorial function. The brilliance of painting, close to glass or skin, protects a fragile world while offering a space of creative tensions. Parietal art, wrapped in silence, remains a visual encounter of timeless power.”

Born in 1958 in Lyon, Daniel Airam first studied graphic arts before working in the printing industry from 1975 to 1982. From that date onward, he devoted himself entirely to engraving and participated in numerous exhibitions in France, across Europe, in the United States and in Japan.

Over time he incorporated painting, sculpture and video into his practice, expanding his means of expression. Today his work revolves around a reflection on image and sign, exploring their forms and meanings.
