I transform matter into memory, where each fragment tells a story
Biography
My name is Sébastien VERDUZIER, an artist, painter, visual artist, self-taught. I am 30 years old and have been passionate about art since a very young age. Originally from the Southwest, I first studied cooking, a school of rigor and creativity that taught me precision, patience, and a taste for a job well done. I started painting in 2020, in a garage, with an irrepressible need to escape and express what I felt deep within myself. First drawn to stars and abstract landscapes, I experimented with different techniques—acrylic, oil, materials, textures—in search of a language capable of translating my emotions. Very quickly, I found in an everyday object my signature: the fork. Diverted from its use, it becomes my tool of creation. It allows me to scratch, stretch, dig, and sculpt matter. It is a play between force and precision, between control and letting go. This repeated gesture leaves a trace, an imprint, a memory. It builds vibrant, almost organic surfaces, where every relief tells something about me: a tension, a breath, an emotion. My works are reflections on the world around me, on oceans, forests, fragile ecosystems, on the relationship between the human being and the living. I work with matter, textures, and contrasts to create immersive experiences. I seek to make people feel, to provoke an emotional response, to invite the viewer to enter the work and project their own story into it. My intention is not to give an answer, but to open a sensitive space, a silent dialogue between the work, the material, and the one who looks at it.
