The Burial

In 'The Burial' movie, the artist does not make any statement nor does he define the subject of the painting. He paints the white canvas white and then buries it. It is up to the viewer to complete the story and the question remains 'What does the viewer wants to redeem'?

The Burial is the start of a series conceptual paintings and figurative paintings.

The conceptual paintings are produced according the same process. The movie shows in fact the making of these conceptual works of art. There is no secret about the work, nor any crafts involved. It's in fact the location that paints the works and provides it its uniqueness.

The figurative paintings show us scenes from the storyline but outside the scope of the movie.
