Meditation dream by Armand Campi

Meditative and dreamy.

Woman in Blue, oil painting by Armand Campi. The dream has a vast, meditative, dreamlike and mythical character.

The human figures are universal and timeless and want to be judged solely by their posture and condition. He places his figures in a space that exerts a decisive influence on them and thus determines the final mood.

His painting style jumps effortlessly from baroque stylistic features to an impressionistic touch and from meditation and mystification to abstract - expressionistic imagery. The accents change incessantly.

Armand Campi has expressed himself in a range of styles. From surrealism in the beginning to abstract expressionism in the 1980s to his current style that recalls the atmosphere of old masters such as Turner, Goya and Moreau. Campi goes his unique way in which painting for him is an ongoing dialogue with both the classics and the moderns.

Campi does what he wants with paint and masters his métier with apparent ease. He works from the material the unctuous hard-to-master oil paint that is directed across the linen in a complex structure. In his themes, Campi is classic: landscapes, figures, interiors and motifs of an almost mystical intensity. His bold brush technique, the absence of detail and his decided use of light and dark are evidence of his modern artistry.

Armand Campi combines elements from the evolution of art movements, rooted in a common theme of the woman. On the one hand with her back to the viewer and at the same time with and through her gaze, exploring the world.

Campi's use of color, abstraction, realism, antiquity and modernism simultaneously within a scene, to convey a tone that resonates with the universal subconscious.

Frenchman born in Vichy in 1942, raised in Havana, Cuba returned to Europe via Spain to France and then worked for forty years in the Netherlands. His paintings are included in private collections around the world in New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam and Hong Kong.
