"(...) Mathieu experences his art as a metaphisical flight free from the contingencies of representation the pure form of a creative force in action, the expression of a new Renaissance whose advent he evokes. The force he unleashes in the act of creation induces an upheaval of aesthetic canons and interpretative norms, conveying a liberating message through the signs and graffiti he projects onto the canvas. Mathieu's message is a hymn to freedom with which he hopes to shake up the social world..."
