In the artwork 'Protected from the Sea', the artist showcases a dual fascination and fear of the sea. He paints the vast and intimidating sea using his unique palette of infinite blues, capturing both its allure and power. Yet, there is also a sense of safeguarding oneself from the sea's potent force. This is visually depicted through a barricade of square material textures, reminiscent of the style of Soulages. It's as if the artist, while admiring the sea's beauty, also acknowledges its strength and employs a protective barrier. This interplay of captivation and caution, beauty and fear, is what gives this piece a profound depth.
This artwork portrays a deep sense of respect and awe for the sea, echoing mankind's timeless relationship with these vast bodies of water. The use of infinite shades of blue not only mirrors the endless expanse of the sea but also suggests the depth of the artist's emotion - a spectrum of reverence, fear, and enchantment.

The barricade of textured squares offers a stark contrast, both visually and symbolically. They seem to serve as a defense, a shield against the overwhelming power of the sea. Just as Soulages used texture and contrast in his artwork to evoke deep emotional responses, so too does the artist here.

The resulting interplay of elements tells a captivating story of mankind's interaction with nature – the simultaneous allure and fear, the need for protection and the desire to embrace. It is a story of dualities, a narrative that resonates in the hearts of all who have stood before the sea, captivated by its beauty, yet mindful of its might.

'Protected from the Sea' stands as an intriguing embodiment of human emotions – awe, fear, protection, and admiration – intricately interwoven in a mesmerizing tableau of infinite blues and protective squares. It's a piece that invites viewers to explore their own perceptions and emotional responses to the infinite and powerful sea.

Dallanges' artistic creativity was initially curbed by a family environment encouraging him to follow a "normal" education and career. Thus, he became an engineer at the École Supérieure d'Optique. He discovered image manipulation techniques that would become the basis of his photography and then his expanded art. He also developed a fascination for materials, volumes and textures, thus fueling his innate passion for the arts.

Emerging from a background in optical engineering, Dallanges brings a unique perspective to the field of contemporary art. His singular visual vocabulary, innovative image manipulation techniques, and philosophical approach to abstraction distinguish his work in multiple ways.

He then dared to rise above his predestined path, convinced that his technical knowledge of image processing and material combinations opened up endless artistic possibilities.

This is how he chose to follow this path, giving rise to a particularly unique artistic technique.

Dallanges' deep understanding of optics allows him to distill complex images into simplified geometric shapes. By reducing his subjects to their essential lines, shapes and colors, he invites viewers to interact with his art in instinctive and emotional ways, often evoking a sense of infinity.

His technique reveals endless possibilities. A technique that gives his artistic works a real power, capable of awakening in the viewer feelings of serenity and superpower, allowing him to refocus and find solutions among the infinite possibilities diffused through these paintings.

Dallanges embarks on a journey through the vast and infinite world of contemporary art, becoming a pioneer in this art inspiring unlimited possibilities.

Part of his work provokes these emotions of calm, confidence and unlimited potential through paintings representing infinite seas and skies, always treated in a way that leaves no one indifferent.

Another part of his work uses unimaginable combinations of materials to convey this idea of ​​endless possibilities. Dallanges interweaves them through digital art, pushing the limits of the imagination. Her work evokes raw emotion, breathing life into seemingly living materials.

Its color palette is adapted to its messages of infinity. He mainly manipulates an Infinite Blues palette, an Infinite Golds palette and an Infinite Blacks palette. His art, like the unlimited combinations of the 12 musical notes, conveys an infinite range of emotions through the use of a palette of 3 infinite notes, the blues, the golds, the blacks. This combination captures the essence of unlimited possibilities. Dallanges lives between London, Paris and San Francisco
