but also through its undeniable social dimension.
The work fits into the juxtaposition of community and space.
This kind of art resonates with many local governments,
who recognize the quality of the painting and its large-scale potential.
These local governments have started commissioning works from the artist.

An Interactive Art :
Like a tool for our personal evolution,
Guillaume Bottazzi art works shows the visible and the invisible.
It rejects definition as control and capture.
The shape are polysemous. They leads us to evolve:
The work invites us to recreate what we are looking at,
and in this way to recreate ourselves.
In his work, there is a sensual and fecund energy.
It
opens domains and tell us that "everything is possible."
