An Interactive Art :
Like a tool for our personal evolution,
Guillaume Bottazzi art work 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."
