Umanz, whose work is at the crossroads of painting and photography, questions the classical attributes of painting while exploring the materiality and finitude of the canvas.

His artistic process is marked by rigor and patience. His method of work includes the meticulous search for the desired colors and the realization by hand, often in flat, of geometric shapes without masking, conferring to each creation a singularity and a unique essence. Behind the apparent impersonality of some works, subtle details are revealed that invite the viewer to a deeper discovery.

His research also extends to experimental photography, thus expanding his field of artistic expression. The work attached to this dossier bears witness to this constant exploration, offering an insight into the diversity and richness of his artistic approach.

Through his plays, Umanz invites the public to question established conventions and explore the boundary between apparent simplicity and hidden depth. Each canvas and each photograph are invitations to a dialogue on materiality and artistic perception.
