For an art student like me, immersed in the practice of painting in the early '80s, the original utopia video art mainly consisted in the appearance of a new form of artistic expression, perceived both as a breath and an output that allowed to refresh my practice and leave the dead end of the aesthetic vanguard then immersed in the controversy between neo-expressionist painting and minimalist conceptual art. Therefore I continue painting, but with video. Since then two underlying problems continue to fuel my thinking and my work. Can we see the video as a painting? Can we see the video painted? The originality of my video work lies in having aesthetic and historical roots in the history of art, taken simultaneously with a thorough investigation of the qualities of the electronic media, in the light of the concepts of "Vanity" and "Painting-Video ". I take as a reference to the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau who dealing with the boredom of the saloons, equivalent to our "opennings", conceived his "cup-and-ball moral ." Coincidentally, I made a video a few years ago showing a cup-and-ball in action. One day I´ll film my dreams as a solo videographer.

Keywords : J. J. Rousseau; Painting; Vanity; Video.
