This series is in same way, a different prolongation of the series Modulations in the early 1988 and then appeared the first “alchemies” from small sketches. Those sketches are the produce of ideas emerging from random observations which are slowly concretised, imposed and finally claim the right to exist.

So I started the processes of repetition, comparison which led me to a multitude of drawings, some of them when developed were transformed into small paintings. They will be at their turn the starting point of other ideas and bigger paintings.
Searching in the drawer where I kept some of my old work, I found 3 or 4 which already contained in germs the idea of “alchemies”

These are monotype I realized in 1957-58 in Buenos Aires, just before I move to Paris.
We actually are carrying many embryonic ideas. I surprised myself to suddenly develop something which I neglected for years. Among all those vague accumulated ideas many never came out.

Indifferent to the pressure exerted by the various artistic currents, keeping as much as I could, my freedom of creativity, risking to contradicted myself and disturb those who are chocked by the lack of style.
Those “alchemies” are part with no reserve of my adventure alive through my work as an experimental artist.
