Jacques Sultana: On the Bed

[reviews_and_ramblings]

"I paint what I love to see and touch. I don't make things up. I just try to capture the fleeting beauty of everyday life, moments which I have experienced.

No extraordinary thoughts or emotions, just the joy of existence.

There is no action in my paintings : something just happened or is about to happen.


Tendresse (55X46)


Richard Assis (Grandeur Nature) (73X60)


Portrait d'Homme (130X80)


Richard Assis de Profil (55X46)


Manu au Livre (40X33)


Sieste de Manu (60X24)


Lecture (61X38)


Dormeur (61X24)


Nu sur le Ventre (65X35)

Tactile pleasure of the caressing play of light on skin, stroking hair and sculpting a profile.

The reflection of a magical mirror where you plunge into a space the hand cannot reach ; the simple and natural beauty of the male body ; the ambiguity of the model looking at the painter looking at him in a game of mirrors : innocence of an everpresent sensuality. Contrast and color are submitted to the rendering of light, harmony and balance of the whole.

The rigor of geometry and technique are used to contrast with the body's fluidity and only to serve expression.

A few themes and infinite variations, far from violence and drama, just a smile." Jacques Sultana

My goodness these are beautiful...especially the top one. I bet the model loved them. The male human body is a thing of such beauty.

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are all beautiful (the paints not the men, even if also them...), and there is a feeling of intimacy that I love. Elisa

Wow, these are gorgeous, so stunning and vivid, you almost feel like you're looking at a photograph. What a talented artist! I luv his emphasis on everyday moments.

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are so perfect that they seem pictures. Truth be told, I'm not much for abstract, so I like very much his style. Elisa

[semioticwarrior.livejournal.com]

Those are gorgeous!

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

Yes, they really are :-) Elisa

Thanks for sharing these, Elisa. They are breathtaking. It may sound silly for me to say so with everything of his on display, but I like his face especially! Plus, I think the look of your entire blog here is the most beautiful I've seen on LiveJournal. It's a treat for the eyes. :)

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

Thank you. And it's not strange, I chose that first pic for that smile on his face.

And thank you also for the kind word on my LJ. The template is not mine, but I tried to personalize the menu and always have a look to the entire journal when I post something.

The smile on his face gives him so much personality, and that of course enhances the rest. :)

And your LJ is gorgeous! I always think of the palace at Versailles when I come here: all the blue and gold.

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

Yes, I like the blu, gold and white, they are fresh. I don't like that blog where the background is black or something dark, it gives me sadness. Elisa

You said: "I don't like that blog where the background is black or something dark, it gives me sadness."

I feel the same way. Also, they're very hard to read!

That top one is particularly lovely, because it doesn't feel posed.

Makes you wonder what he is reading/seeing. Elisa
