This painting is the result of a bold and original mix of different inspirations, that reflect the personality and the journey of Laurent Judge. He wanted to create a work that expresses his emotions, his tastes, his memories, and that engages the viewer with its richness and diversity. The painting MARACAS A CARACAS was inspired by the style of Joan Miró, a Catalan painter who combined abstract art with surrealistic fantasy. Laurent Judge discovered Miró’s work at his first art exhibition that impressed him and that inspired him to paint. He also incorporated elements from the popular culture of the 1980s, such as cartoons, movies, posters, tattoos, and music. He thus created a personal universe, where characters from Conan the Barbarian, Fritz the Cat, or Flash Gordon coexist with geometric shapes, bright colors, and mysterious symbols. The painting resembles a movie poster from that era, with a simple but effective composition. The artist played with perspective, letting the viewer imagine a vanishing point that does not really exist. He thus created a depth and movement effect that gives dynamism to the work. This painting is an invitation to enter the world of the artist, where Laurent Judge mixes his influences with his creativity. It is a work that captivates, surprises, and leaves room for the imagination of the viewer. It is a work that showcases the talent and the story of the artist’s life.
