Self-taught, Mehdi Sioud likes to think outside the box. Although he initially practiced painting under glass, it was thanks to the discovery of an original technique that the mirror became his preferred medium, offering him the singular mode of expression he was looking for to develop the themes around which his work revolves.
In his work, his sources of inspiration echo his interests: Magritte and the questioning of identity, Vasarely and quantum physics
or calligraphy and the quest for the sacred.
At the frontier between art and design, like luminous screens on which the spectator’s reflected image merges with shadows obtained by abstracting matter, his works reveal an unprecedented kinetic energy. The delicacy of the lines reinforces the power of attraction these creations exert on the viewer. And if we begin by following the shape of the lines, we are ultimately invited to look through them, to journey into another world.
