About this artwork
Janus is the Roman god of beginnings and endings, choices, transitions, and doorways. He is bifrons ("two-faced") and depicted with one face turned toward the past, the other toward the future. Celebrated on January 1st, he embodies the concept of "passage" (janitor, the doorkeeper) and is generally honored as an introductory god.
He is Consivius (“sower”), which marks the link with his role as initiator and creator.
It thus synthesizes a large… part of this entire artistic work, punctuated by sculptures reminiscent of places, thresholds, and perpetual movement.
This bronze, whose "ancient" patina reveals the clay material with which it was originally made, represents with its two faces both a meeting of materials and of feelings, lights, shadows, sensations, etc.
It thus seems to bring together these seemingly very different stories that it contains. It is synthesis and encounter.
