About this artwork
“I did not paint this canvas.
I let her transform.
I placed materials, liquids, gestures there, then I watched time work.”
I paint in an abstraction that I call Remanence, a painting where the material retains the trace of time, where the surface becomes memory, where alteration becomes creation.
Each canvas is born from this intuition:
what remains after.
After the gesture.
After the light.
After the presence.
After the passage of time.…
I abandon the surface to its slow metamorphosis.
I let the elements interact, dialogue, erode.
Materials intersect, attack, merge,
like memories that resist or fade.
Nothing is fixed.
Everything is in the process of becoming, of disappearing.
The canvas becomes skin,
stratified, vulnerable, laden with silences and echoes.
I'm not looking for the image.
I'm looking for the footprint.
What you only see when you stop.
What is perceived in absence, in silence.

Credentials
- Works on commission
At once dense and fragile, Florent Carayon's pictorial gesture explores the tensions between lyrical abstraction and instinctive geometry, erosion and construction, forgetting and reminiscence. Inspired by space, time, metaphysics, tribal art, and natural cycles, he paints as one would exhume a relic: slowly, in a quest for presence. Through inks, sand, pigments, and chemical alterations, he reveals surfaces where silence and saturation coexist. His works, close to palimpsests, evoke fragments of a buried narrative. Originally from the south of France, Florent lives and works in Paris. He is currently developing a series entitled Rémanence, where each canvas becomes a territory of imaginary archaeology.
