Collection: ROLAND David

David Roland's approach is rooted in a demanding exploration of fixed under glass, a rare and complex technique that he revisits with a contemporary approach. The artist reverses the traditional stages of painting, working backwards from the glass surface: each stroke, each layer of color is applied from detail to background, without the possibility of correction. This process gives his work a controlled tension between rigor and spontaneity, between controlled gesture and the brilliance of light.

Glass, a medium that is both fragile and luminous, becomes for him a space for dialogue between transparency and density. Through this medium, he seeks to "make light happy," revealing a poetic depth in the play of reflections and superpositions.

The woman, the central subject of his work, embodies creative thought and the driving force behind pictorial narrative. Each face, each composition becomes a fragment of history, a painted writing, where forms and symbols blend together like an inner language. His painting, nourished by references to Leonardo da Vinci and Bergson, questions time, perception, and memory in a structured disorder where beauty is revealed through movement and light.
