I Love Moscow

Ludo explains how he discovered his process:

"Maybe it’s because I studied technical drawing, perspectives and straight lines. I started to go on the other border of organic and round shapes. Then, it became a pathological obsession to create some kind of new species. Nature is so beautiful, I mean if you see macro photos and some studies of flowers, like some Karl Blossfeldt’s photos for example, it’s just an amazing source of inspiration, and the black & white gives them almost a mechanical and cold aspect like a Cronenberg movie.
The idea of beauty and chaos in nature attract me in a way; like the concepts of duality, dichotomy and almost bipolarity. I am amazed to see how nature can reveal beauty and be a synonym of destruction in such a small amount of time.
Then I added the green, my green as a marker. I don’t use it as a color (I don’t know how to work with colors actually) but more like a tool to highlight a visual part of a piece.
But at some point I’ve always liked abstract paintings, so maybe the use of green is a link to that kind of art and a way to kill the obvious figurative part of my paintings. It sounds complicated but that’s what I am in..
