For centuries, the Mediterranean has fascinated artists. Its unique, shifting light has inspired painters, sculptors, and photographers across generations. Today, it remains a living source of creativity, and Antide makes it one of the central elements of his work.
Mediterranean light is never still. It shimmers on the waves, dances on the whitewashed walls of villages, highlights the ochre hills, and caresses the maritime pines. It belongs to no one, yet everyone carries it as a memory—like a fragment of a journey or a suspended moment.
In his studio in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Antide reconnects with this solar energy. The gold leaf he uses acts as a mirror of this light. Applied to wood, stone, metal, or canvas, it amplifies reflections and creates a timeless vibration. His artworks become captured Mediterranean flashes that transcend time and space.
More than just inspiration, the Mediterranean embodies in his work a search for eternity: gold reveals permanence within the ephemeral, beauty within the passing hours.
