The artist employs a unique and distinct method that involves fragmenting the act of painting: he paints with brushstrokes, line after line, square after square. To produce the colour gradation that gives the desired illusion of light, each line has a slight shade change. It takes weeks or months to finish this repetitive process, which calls for extreme patience and attention to detail. Although the creative process is always planned and deliberate, errors and experimentation can lead to unexpected results.

In his abstract paintings, Mathieu Piffeteau explores the diffusion of light and optical illusions by skilfully combining simple, universal geometric shapes with oil-painted colour gradations.The result is a captivating work that exudes a vibrant energy; the viewer is immersed in pure aesthetic contemplation, a unique and subjective sensory experience.
